Jan Tuescher Shining Student

INNOVATOR. RESOURCEFUL. CREATIVE.

“Independent/applied studies are a huge asset at the U of L that help you gain first-hand research experience side-by-side with a professor. You don’t have to have your future planned out but make sure you are passionate about what you are doing.”

Favourite Class: Animal Physiology - Treatment of a beating/live frog heart with stimulants/depressants
Favourite Social Activity: Intramural floor hockey - Go Moves Like Jagr!
Favourite Study Spot: Couch with a cozy blanket and coffee!

My uLethbridge experience:

  • Living on campus and later working for the residence community helped me become a better student, make friends and gain lots of networking opportunities
  • Independent studies allowed me to gain first-hand research experience early on and led me to complete an Honours Thesis and now to pursue a Masters in cancer research
  • Intramural sports were a healthy way to relieve stress from exams/studying, while hanging out with friends
