Hi everyone, my name is Tharsini Sivananthajothy and I'm your Biological Sciences Director for the 09/10 year. I am heading into my second year as a Co-op Specialist in Cell and Molecular Biology. The welcoming and approachable nature of the SCSU, as well as the motivation to be part of the decision making process regarding students and the campus were key reasons for taking on the responsibility as director. The SCSU team has a lot of great ideas this year and I'd like to push forth these ideas into results. As students, I encourage you to join standing committees and voice your opinions and ideas to us, the largest governing body on campus.  As director, it is my duty to listen to your concerns, bring them to the Board and let them be heard, so feel free to approach me whenever you see me (since I practically live at UTSC) and let your concerns be heard. Best of luck for the upcoming school year and hope to see you around campus. Till then, take care. :)

Hello everyone! My name is Anjum Sultana, and as your newly elected first year director, it is my responsibility to voice the ideas and concerns of the student body. This may be my first year getting involved with the SCSU, but what I may lack in experience, I more than make up for it in dedication and passion. Working with the SCSU’s executives as well as the other directors on the board, I want to enact changes that will help foster a more vibrant, energetic and connected campus.
