For me, this was joining a fraternity, where we focus on changing the stigma around fraternities, and focus on philanthropy work, which gives back the community.

Neuroscience, Molecular Genetics & Microbio Student at UofT

Hey everyone! My name is Yoobhin Park, and I am a second year student at the University of Toronto (Trinity College), studying Neuroscience and Molecular Genetics & Microbiology as a double major, with a minor in Psychology. I am starting my Research Opportunity Program with one of the professors at UofT, and I am hoping that this experience will be the starting point of a possible career in the field of research. Through this opportunity, I would like to simulate the different injuries that can occur in the brain, and to eventually develop potential solutions to prevent these diseases. Further on, as brain injuries have a potential for recovery with regenerative medicine, this has enabled me to be interested in this field and gain the position of a Finance Co-Chair in the stem cell conference the SSSCR (Student Society for Stem Cell Research) at UofT holds every year. We have speakers from many different fields, including life sciences, scientific research, ethics and industry in order to broaden the audience, so stay tuned for the conference and hope to see you all at the event:) I have previous experience in mentorship from high school and I have a large passion in giving advice related to life science, but also about university life in general! Feel free to shoot me a message about questions and concerns, or just to make new friends!

RACHEL VAUGHAN

Fourth Year Medical Student at McGill University

I came to Montreal from a big old farm in Ontario about a decade ago, and I just never left! I love sci fi, which is probably why I love medicine - we might not have the diagnostic and regerative med of the future, but we're working on it. I cook daily and bake about twice a week, play a whole whack of board games, and figure skate/roller skate when I can find the time. When I grow up, I'd like to be a polyglot (right now, I'm really more of a trylingual), have at least a horse or two, and have a really organized partner that keeps my future walk-in closet under control. Reach out with any questions - I'm especially helpful with budgeting, transition to city life and med school planning.
