Joy Zhang | (she/her/elle)
President
U3 Biochemistry
Hi Science & ArtSci! I’m Joy, and I’m so excited to be serving as your SUS President this year. I was born in NYC but raised in a FUN suburb near Toronto with a lot of cows. I am here to be an advocate for you and to be a liason between students and Faculty administration, as well as oversee overall operations of the SUS. You can likely find me in the lab at the Goodman Cancer Institute (GCI) or studying in the Geography Information Center (GIC). Both have similar abbreviations and both are in buildings with mice. Feel free to reach out with any questions/concerns/ideas/ complaints about bioc labs you may have.
