Calling all first and second year health sciences students!

Online school has made it tricky to become familiar with the beautiful campus Carleton University has to offer. Where are the big lecture halls? What about the labs, or the places to grab a coffee or bite to eat? All great questions!

This year, the Health Sciences Society is introducing Campus Tours! Tours are led in groups with an upper year Health Sciences student as a guide. A tour is a great way to familiarize yourself with common areas you as a Health Science student may spend a lot of time, or just to get a better idea of the campus! Additionally, a HSS Campus Tour is a great way to meet people in your program!

If you are interested, click the link below to register. Many dates and times are available, and there is the option to register with friends as well! Registration is now open, and closes September 27th at 12pm. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]

Registration Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd62O_fRqKpZyQqtDFOIYwlJyuk5-nIO9VNm2AKNlK7r79iTg/viewform?usp=sf_link

We cannot wait to see you on a tour!

Meet your Fourth Year Rep, Meghan!

Meghan is in her 4th year of Health Sciences in the Global Health stream. Her hobbies include working out, meditation, and yoga!

Meghan has learned that as important as it is to work your hardest, it is also very important to take time for yourself outside of the classroom. This can be through participation in societies like HSS, intramurals, personal hobbies like fitness, music, and the arts. When she started to incorporate extracurriculars along with her education, she succeeded the most academically and felt the best emotionally and physically. It is so important to find that balance between education and well being!

02/24/2021

Meet your other First Year Rep, Alicia!

Alicia is in the Biomedical concentration as she is very interested in pathology and the physiological aspects of human health. Her hobbies include cooking, dancing (she is also a member of the Ravens Dance Pak!), exercising, or any kind of outdoor activity!

As a first year student, Alicia has learned time management and effective planning, which have really helped her while learning remotely.

02/24/2021

Meet one of your First Year Reps, Sophie!

Sophie is in the Biomedical Sciences concentration, as it encompasses all of the aspects of health and science that she likes the best. Her hobbies include dancing and skiing,as well as playing the piano and reading!

Sophie has learned throughout her degree how to effectively manage her time to maximize her productivity!

02/24/2021

Meet your other Director of Communications, Ramisa!

Ramisa chose the Biomedical Sciences concentration because she loved how flexible it was as you can go into various paths such as medicine, dentistry, research or even teaching. It allowed her to explore different areas of health care based on biological and social factors. Ramisa’s hobbies include dancing and cooking (quarantine has made me her a chef and no its not only mac and cheese that She makes😉)! It has been her therapy to quarantine this year as well as when she wants to take a break from studying in general!

Something Ramisa has learned throughout her degree is time management. Going through a rigorous program, you want to make sure that you succeed and get all the grades but also have a good time in university. Without managing your time and thinking of your priorities, it makes balancing everything difficult and makes you struggle (ex. staying up the night finishing up papers or studying for a midterm). It can also cause you to not have enough time to relax and hang out with your friends or do activities you enjoy!

02/24/2021

Meet your Director of Communications, Melanie!

Melanie is in her 4th year in Health Sciences and she chose the Health Throughout the Lifespan concentration. She chose it because she believes that improving health does not consist of only preventing disease but also by understanding and promoting development of physical, mental, and social capacity throughout life. Melanie’s hobbies include travelling to different countries, learning about their history and trying out the delicious foods they offer! She also loves exploring new coffee shops with friends, and swimming!

Something important that Melanie has learned throughout her degree is the importance of building relationships and connecting with professors. It’s extremely important to be a familiar face rather than be a stranger. This will enhance your experience as an undergrad student and you will definitely benefit in some sort of way!

02/24/2021

Meet your Vice President of Communications, Kate!

Kate is in her 4th year of Health Sciences, in a concentration of Biomedical Sciences. She chose this concentration to learn about the rapidly evolving field of medicine and research. Kate’s hobbies include outdoor activities such as skiing, skating, hiking, and canoeing. She loves to travel and be around nature. Kate also loves to cook and be around friends!

Something Kate has learned throughout her degree is the importance of balance. She has learned that to be successful in your studies, you must have a healthy balance of school, friends, and time alone to recharge - it is the best way to lower stress levels, do well in your classes, and enjoy your time in university!

02/24/2021

Meet your Vice President of Finance, Chris!

Chris is in the Disability and Chronic Illness stream as he wanted to learn more about the pathology and lived experiences of those with chronic illnesses and disabilities. He also aims to pursue Occupational Therapy after he graduates. Chris enjoys going for walks in nature, spending time by the water at his cottage, and giving my 100% at karaoke bars with friends (before COVID-19 of course)!

Chris has learned the importance of basic science research in furthering our understanding of health and disease throughout his degree in Health Sciences!

02/24/2021

Meet your other Director of Events, Rhodson!

Rhodson is concentrating in Biomedical Sciences as he believes this concentration will give him the most options for pursing post graduate research or medical opportunities. Rhodsons hobbies include rewatching the office or playing basketball.

Something Rhodson has learned throughout his degree is that lifestyle changes have had a greater positive outcome on population health than medical interventions!
