"During my time at UTM, I had the opportunity to delve deep into the world of mathematics, developing a strong foundation in both theoretical concepts and practical applications. The computer science and religion minors provided me with a unique blend of logical thinking and cultural awareness, which has proven to be a great asset in my current career as a high school teacher."
Johnny Nguyen, HBSc '20
"I took a broad range of courses outside of my requirements to get exposure to various ways of thinking [...] I also launched the Women in Science and Computing team, which is where I learned how to execute big ideas and work within cross-functional teams. These skills served me well as I entered the professional world."
Vaneezeh Siddiqui, HBSc '23
