About Me
Hi MacSci! My name is Wynter and I am thrilled to be your VP Academic for the 2023-2024 academic year! As I continue in the Academic Portfolio and enter into the VP role, I hope to continue fostering a welcoming and encouraging academic atmosphere for you to be in a place where you feel supported and are able to fulfill your academic potential. I am motivated to continue providing you with the academic resources you need through tutoring, provide you with mentors to go to for advice through our first-year and upper-year mentorship programs, and continue to increase your awareness of academic goals for the Faculty through advocacy initiatives. Feel free to say hi if you see me around campus - you can certainly find me wherever there is coffee and usually studying in the Health Sciences Library!

2. Expand the upper-year mentorship program and increase student-mentor matches by increasing the diversity of upper-year mentors and their academic and career backgrounds.
3. Continue updating the MacSci website to provide data from academic term surveys.
Projects
1. Develop a strategy and process that can be used to analyze and compare annual data from the Science Census to bring about change in the Faculty of Science.
2. Facilitate bonding and foster a sense of community between first-year students and their mentors by increasing one-on-one engagement and conversation.
3. Expand the tutoring services to include common and difficult Level II+ courses.
