    Jocelyn Woodin ('24) What's next? Pursuing a master's in English literature at Acadia University.

"I love studying English because you really get a little bit of everything at once; history, religion, social sciences, psychology and even the hard sciences are all studied, too! Literature informs so much and it is super interesting to see its effects."

"The Biology department at Mount Allison has something for everyone with courses focusing on a variety of topics from genetics to physiology. Each student has the opportunity to engage in what they love and make close relationships with students and profs alike. You learn many important laboratory techniques from the start of your first year through to your final year. Students have many opportunities to apply these skills and conduct valuable research through independent study and honours programs. If you are passionate about biology, enjoy hands-on work, and want to be a part of a close-knit group of amazing scientists, Mount Allison is the school for you!"
