"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

“While at UTM, I spent a lot of time as a teaching assistant [...] I was really interested in becoming a professor and computer science courses at UTM really prepared me for graduate school. My undergraduate research experience [also] gave me the skills I needed to excel in my PhD program.”

Alexandra Thompson, HBSc '22
