We’re also looking for a fundraising coordinator to join our team – and the by-election will happen at the General Meeting. If you want to apply, we require a short speech (~1-2min) about yourself and why you’d make a great fundraising coordinator. Please email it to buss@mail.utoronto.ca.

Hope to see you there!

Lunch and Learn 1
Back on Wednesday, October 2nd, a small group of students had the unique opportunity to hear Dr. McQuibban discuss his career path and research. This was the first talk in a series of talks held by BUSS referred to as “Lunch and Learn” meetings. These are great opportunities to get to know the faculty and learn more about a career path in research. Remember to watch out for our next one on November 21st, 1-2pm, featuring another professor!

Thanks for coming out to Club Fair & Street Fair!
Thanks to everyone who came out for Clubs Fair last Tuesday and for Street Fair earlier today! BUSS had an amazing time reaching out to new students, and we hope that some of the people we met have found their way to this website. All newcomers should feel free to participate in online discussion, come out to events, and commiserate with fellow biochemistry students.
We’ve included a gallery of some of our favourite shots from Clubs Fair in this post. Remember to check back later for Street Fair pictures, as well as announcements about upcoming events such as the general meeting and by-election.
Fourth Year Course Selection Seminar
As a lot of you may know, several weeks ago (July 11th), we had a course selection seminar for fourth year courses, in which former students and current professors came and talk about different fourth year courses that are available to you in the upcoming year. This was also a great opportunity for second/third year students to get a sense of their future opportunities in terms of courses and to help see where their program is leading them.
If you happened to miss this talk, don’t worry! We took notes during the seminar, and they are available here.
Good luck to all fourth years!
