About Me

Hi MacSci! My name is Cianne and I am so excited to be one of the Volunteer & Research Coordinators! Returning to the MSS this year, I’m excited to continue working with this team to grow our student-facing outreach for research and volunteer opportunities. You can usually find me living my best library life at Thode. If you see me around campus, don't hesitate to come say hi and chat about the MSS!

Goals

1. Increase accessibility to research and volunteer opportunities across all levels in the Faculty of Science through research-related events, including Symbiosis, Research Spotlight and MacSci Poster Day.

2. Strengthen student-faculty connections by highlighting ongoing research, showcasing diverse careers and pathways in the field of science.

3. Build a community rooted in genuine curiosity for science and committed to its potential to leave the world better than we found it.

Projects

1. Organize Symbiosis, our Fall semester research conference, to showcase student research and foster networking across the Faculty of Science.

2. Expand MacSci Poster Day to both semesters, increasing student opportunities to share research projects.

3. Continue monthly Research Spotlights, highlighting student research on MSS social media platforms.

Reasons to Contact Me
