President
Preet Shah
Hi CBS students! My name is Preet Shah and I’m a 4th year student in Biomedical Science. I joined CBSSC at the end of my 1st year as the Chair of the Board. Unbeknownst to me, this position laid the first brick onto the path that would start my long and rewarding journey and one that introduced me to like-minded individuals that would grow from being my colleagues to my friends. As President, I serve as a connection between the rest of the University, the other college governments and the administration. I enjoy trying new things such as surfing, scuba diving, bungee jumping or even reading a new book. I’m also a massive Harry Potter addict so if you ever need to strike up a conversation with me, that’s where to start!

Hey everyone, I’m Rachel and I am the Vice President internal Affairs for the 2019-2020 academic year. I am currently finishing my degree in Biomedical Science before starting a degree in Biomedical Engineering. As VP Internal Affairs I am responsible for overseeing the 11 major-specific clubs that fall under the College of Biological Science - you might sometimes hear these referred to as ASOs (which just stands for Accredited Student Organization). You can find a full list of College of Biological Science’s ASOs and their contact information under the “Clubs and Organization” tab if you’re looking to get involved with the club associated with your major.

Vice President of Events
Beth Chan
Hi there! My name's Bethany (but you can call me Beth) and I am your CBSSC VP Events for 2019/2020. I am a fourth year Biological Sciences student with the hopes of pursuing a career in Epidemiology. I joined the Board just last year and I found it really opened my eyes to all the events and resources we have accessible to us as students! That is why this year, as an exec, I hope to keep the ball rolling with fun and beneficial events to help us build a greater community within the sciences. I love doing hot (and regular) yoga and I'm always open to new music and book recommendations! Another fun fact about me is that one of my favourite foods is garlic. However, I promise I am an avid teeth-brusher so please do not hesitate to approach me if you have any questions or simply just want to chat!
