UTSC FSGs

Meet Samuel! Another one of our awesome FSG facilitators – hear from him below ⬇️🔬

Q: Why did you join FSGs?
A: “I've attended many FSGs all throughout first and second year and found that they provided a lot of value to me whether it be through making friends, future connections, keeping pace with class, achieving skills or deeper understanding of course content---all of which I feel have helped me then and now. On top of this, there was facilitator that I had for BIOA01/2 when I was a first-year student that set the bar high in terms of work ethic, competence, and humility and I hope to become a great role model like him as well!”

Q: Why did you choose your program?
A: “I'm doing a double major in Human Biology and Molecular Biology, Immunology, and Disease and I chose these majors because I'm more interested in Biology than the other subjects and figured I'd still be able to take other courses (like Psych for example) that I find interesting on the side.”

Q: What is a “must-do” on campus?
A: "Study" with friends until it's late at night (and then go home and actually study).”

Q: Quick tip for new first years?
A: “If you have an idea for a club or event, don't sit on it. You'd be surprised how receptive the students and staff are at UTSC to supporting new initiatives.”
