About Me

Hi everyone! I’m Sanika, and this is my first time on the MSS as a peripheral exec, I’m the Volunteer and Research Coordinator this year! I’m really excited to work with our amazing team to make research and volunteer opportunities more accessible for students. I’m especially looking forward to Symbiosis this year (it’s one of my favorite events!) and our end-of-year recap to celebrate all the work that goes into research and community involvement. When I’m not planning events or in the lab, you can usually find me studying in the Health Sci quiet study area or hanging out in the greenhouse; it’s my go-to spot on campus!

Goals

1. Expand access to research and volunteer opportunities across all years and programs through events like Symbiosis and our Research Spotlights.

2. Strengthen student–faculty connections by highlighting ongoing research and showcasing diverse pathways in science.

3. Build a collaborative and supportive community of students who are excited to learn and get involved.

Projects

1. Host Symbiosis to showcase student research and foster networking across the Faculty of Science.

2. Continue monthly Research Spotlights highlighting student research on social media.

3. Hopefully develop a volunteer & research resource guide to connect students with opportunities on and off campus.
