Student spotlight
Chemistry graduate inspires the next generation
Chemistry alumna, Kate Bowden, blended her love of science with her passion for working with kids by joining the Girl Guides of Canada to offer science-related badge programs. She focused on delivering sessions related to two particular programs: Our Shared Planet, which has an eco-focus, and Science Lab, which is STEM-focused.
