Hello! My name is Heba and I am in my fourth year of a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Biological Sciences and Psychology. Being a part of the Spectrum team has exposed me to research in disciplines other than my own and has given me the tools to approach my personal research endeavours with unique perspectives. This will be my second year as Submissions Editor and I'm excited to continue reading the diverse submissions we receive!

Hello! My name is Mylo and I'm in my 3rd year of an Honors Sociology major and an International Studies minor.

I'm looking forward to reading the exciting work coming in from UofA students this year!
