2010 / Bachelor of Science in Biology (with English and Chemistry minors)

There are three important aspects of my experience at CUC (now Burman) that I want to highlight. One of the key moments in my learning can be distilled down to one session in which one of the professors invited students from Univ. of Alberta to come to our campus and discuss the origins of life on earth with us. That discussion challenged my thinking and provided me with a platform from which to to evaluate my beliefs through the lens of critical thought. Today, I still consider that one of the most important turning points in my life.
