Featuring the President of CBSSC ---- Hisham Farag
Hi CBS students! My name is Hisham and I am a third year Biomedical science student, my job as the president is to act as the connection between the rest of the university, including other college governments and the administration and the student council. We're so excited to bring you lots of new events this year in partnership with other colleges. My goal for this year is to make the college feel more accessible for all of you, whether that means resources, research or even financial support.
I love music, Harry Potter and dogs(in no particular order).
I'm also a huge medical/science nerd. If you ever see me walking around, please come up and say hi!
