Mehnaz Lamia (Mia)
My name is Mehnaz Lamia (Mia) and I am an international student from Bangladesh. I am a third year Creative Writing student and also your host for the OCAD U Live show “Morning With Mia” and “Max and Mia Show”. I am very passionate about journalism and bringing students together into a community. In my shows, I deliver the latest news, especially to all the students who can’t be here on campus due to the pandemic, and I interview students, faculty and administration on everything OCAD U.
