About Me

Hi everyone! My name is Aliza, and I'm truly honoured to serve as your VP Academic for the 2026-2027 year. It's my second year on the MSS, and being part of this team has been such a rewarding experience in more ways than one. The Academic Portfolio has always been something I'm passionate about, and I'm looking forward to improving the tutoring and mentorship programs the MSS runs each year, while advocating for issues that are important to science students. You’ll probably find me around campus studying with friends, locking in at HSL, or waiting in an embarrassingly long Tim's line. I’m really looking forward to working on academic initiatives that are genuinely meaningful for science students, and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together this year!

Goals

1. Expand and improve accessible academic resources, particularly through video tutoring and recorded review content.

2. Improve student awareness and engagement with MSS academic support services.

3. Leverage student feedback to strengthen advocacy efforts and address issues affecting science students.

Projects

1. Connect science students with faculty through networking events, such as Academic Roundtable.

2. Conduct fall and winter academic surveys to gather student perspectives on key academic topics and concerns.

3. Host the "What To Do in Level 2" event, giving first-year students the opportunity to connect with program society representatives and learn about second-year specializations.

Reasons to Contact Me

1. You have questions/concerns about our services! Whether it's tutoring or mentorship, please reach out and I'd be happy to help.

2. You have an academic concern that pertains to the Faculty of Science and would like it brought to the Associate Dean’s office.

3. You’re searching for the best gluten-free bites :) #celiac
