WCRG Student Volunteers - Key to Our Success!
|
The WCRG student volunteers are a key ingredient to our success. Often behind the scenes, this dedicated group of students never hesitate to support our events and projects. We appreciate their dedication, professionalism and care in sharing research and education with the public. We'd like to thank them for all they do!
We'd also like to congratulate two of our senior student volunteers who will now be moving on.
- Jacob Bender - MD Program, Western University's Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, Windsor Campus
- Melanie Grondin - MD/PhD Program, University of Ottawa, Faculty of Medicine
Congratulations and best wishes in the future! We will definitely miss you.
