About this Event
ABBS’s mission has always been to promote student engagement across interdisciplinary fields of biology. As students ourselves, we understand how challenging it is to navigate the decision space between graduate school and research, industry, or medical and health sciences pathways.
With the vision of turning expertise into actionable guidance, we have partnered with UTSC Biological Sciences, the UTSC Co-op Department, Princeton Review, and PrimeUofT to make University and Beyond the theme of this year’s annual conference.
This year, we are offering 3 parallel tracks:
• Health & Medical Sciences
• Industry
• Graduate School & Research
Each track features experts actively working in their fields, providing insights to help you make the most out of your student years and strategically build the skills needed for life beyond university.
