How I get involved: My involvement in À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ has been in the Science Society, the faculty science club, in multiple roles such as peer mentor, survey coordinator and more! Furthermore, as a First Year Representative, I was in BUGS, the Biology Undergraduate Society. Getting involved in the Science clubs helped me make new friends and create a community I am glad to be part of!

Why I love my program

Since high school, I have had a strong interest in and curiosity for biology and all its associated topics. The biology program at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ has allowed me to explore all branches of biology, with classes in zoology, ecology, cell biology, human physiology and more! With the classes, I have had the opportunity to take the associated lab, which is exciting with dissections, cell staining and more.

Why University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ?

I chose the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ for various reasons, but one of the main reasons was the community in À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. The À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ community has always been tight-knit, especially in the Science faculty. With student bonding events happening daily, study sessions and more! Especially being away from home in Alberta, I found my 2nd family with the Science community here at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ!
