Seminar on Children's Health - The Story of Suri's Smile

Hey everyone!

Just a quick note to those of you with interviews this evening - remember that interviews are taking place in Stauffer Library room 239! Please arrive 5 minutes before your interview to ensure that we stay on schedule! :)

Can't wait to meet you all!

Hello! I'm Ali and I am the President and CO-Founder of QUCHA. I am in third year, majoring in Biology. After graduation, I plan to pursue my dreams of going to Med school. In the summer between grade 12 and first year of university, I volunteered at SickKids and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I wanted to shed light on the brilliant hospital and with the help of the Queen's community, help the children at SickKids. Furthermore, I wanted to provide other students like me with an opportunity to speak with doctors and learn about what it takes to be one. I'm thrilled that this club is finally up and running, receiving so much interest, and I can't wait to get started!

ATTENTION to those of you that have interviews today!

Please be on time! We cannot stress this enough as we are on a strict timeline in the room that we have reserved for interviews. To ensure that you will be on time, please arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled interview!

Thank you and we can't wait to meet you all!
