Meet Our Peer Advisors ...
Hello! My name is Samantha, and I am a senior pursuing a double major in Ecology, Evolution, and Biodiversity (EEB) and Environment (PitE). I have been involved with research all 4 years, but I am currently starting my honors thesis in the Speer and James labs comparing fungal symbionts of parasitic bat flies! I am involved in Michigan Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Society (MEEBS), a community of EEB-interested students. I am the Vice-president of Students for Clean Energy, and I am very involved in environmental activism. I previously took classes at the Biological Station, and it was my favorite experience at Michigan thus far! Please feel free to drop into my office hours in person or online to discuss your potential academic path, research, the biostation, double-majoring, or any other questions you may have!
Hello, my name is Kamaldeen, and I am currently a senior pursuing a major in Biology, Heath, and Society with a minor in
Entrepreneurship. I am the president of the Undergraduate Student National Dental Association (USNDA) for students yearning for a career in the dental field and I love to workout. I am involved in other ethnic based clubs that make me feel like I belong because everyone deserves a place where they feel appreciated. In my free-time, I like to stay active and watch TV shows. You are
more than welcome to join my office hours to discuss your academic path or to simply to ask me questions about my individual path!
Hi! My name is Carlin and I’m a senior majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in English. I’m also currently working on my honors thesis on the long-term cognitive effects of concussions presented during exercise. I work in the Michigan NeuroTrauma lab, the ATHINA lab, as an LSA Honors ambassador, and I’m the senior editor for research at The Michigan Daily! I am very interested in cognitive neuroscience and am planning to pursue a PhD after graduation. Outside of the classroom, I am on the women’s club lacrosse team, I enjoy reading, and I love finding new music. Please visit my office hours if you have any questions or want to discuss your own academic journey with me!!
Hi!! My name is Yitzi, and I am an incoming senior majoring in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB) with a minor in Interdisciplinary Astronomy. I am involved in leadership at the Jewish Resource Center and am in the middle of this cycle of Medical School Applications. In the summers, I work as an EMT and teach CPR. I have experience tutoring and am involved with research in bioarchaeology in the Kelsey museum. As an out of state student, I can also help you brainstorm the best opportunities for you if you’re coming from outside of Michigan. Please come by with any questions you have about research, patient exposure, medical school, classes, your four year game plan—anything I can help you with, I will!
Tutoring Referral
The Program in Biology complies a list of possible tutors for our Program in Biology (all majors) undergraduate classes each semester. If you did well (B or better) in a Biology, EEB, or MCDB (or other major-related) course and feel like you would make a good tutor, please let us know! Many beginning (and continuing) students may benefit from your expertise.
We will compile a list and refer students to you as they request tutors. (You will be able to make arrangements directly with them.) Your information will not be published widely, but we will give the contact list to students who request a tutor for a course you have signed up for.
Students looking for Tutors: Check in with the Program in Biology office (lsa-biology-advising@umich.edu) for a list of possible tutors!
PLEASE BE AWARE: Tutors are not employees of the Program in Biology or the departments of EEB or MCDB. The Biology Office does not monitor the tutoring relationship. Qualifications, scheduling, and remuneration (if any) should be negotiated in advance between the student and the tutor.
