About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Lauren (she/her), and this is my second year in the role of Academic Advocacy Coordinator. I'm really looking forward to another year of connecting with students in the Faculty of Science, hearing your concerns and feedback, and providing opportunities for you to participate in academic advocacy. If you ever need guidance in navigating the many forms and policies in the Faculty, how to find a research position, how to succeed in classes, or just a chat... you're most likely to find me in HSL, Thode, or in IWC working in the lab!

Goals

1. Increase opportunities for students to connect with faculty members face-to-face.

2. Remodel student events and communications to make them more accessible, relatable, and enjoyable.

3. Continue to connect with students to uncover the biggest issues facing the student body.

Projects

1. Updating the Sciclopedia Livestream event for incoming first years.

2. Plan term surveys on relevant issues facing the student population.

3. Host the Academic Roundtable, providing a chance for students to connect with faculty members.

Reasons to Contact Me

1. You're super passionate about an issue facing science students, but don't know where to take it;

2. You're unsure of your rights as a student, and don't know how to navigate the MANY policies governing the student body; and

3. You want to discuss how the internet has fallen off since Jenna Marbles left... we miss you queen.. what are you up to?
