Justin Raymond, a Jannen School of Arts and Sciences senior Biology Major, is working as a TA in biology labs.

The position occupied by Justin Raymond is a work-study experience offered to Biology and Chemistry majors. Raymond teaches a freshman, Introduction to Biology lab, meant to teach younger students the basics in lab practices and work. The work-study is quite expansive, giving the school鈥檚 majors a chance to learn more while teaching new students.

鈥淚鈥檇 say the most rewarding thing about this position is getting opportunity to develop my leadership skills. Teaching is pretty informative, not only for the people learning, but the person teaching as well,鈥� said Raymond.

Raymond鈥檚 duties include meetings with the lab instructor to go over the lab and what the students should be doing. During lab, Raymond explains the lab, going over the procedures, showing the students the correct methods, and or ways to use the equipment. He also must assist students with the lab protocol, introducing them to the details of college labs.

When asked about the benefits of the work-study, Raymond said, 鈥淚t鈥檚 a very valuable experience. If your future career is in the biological field, it allows you to practice the skills that you鈥檝e learned in previous years and allows you to work with equipment.鈥�

The Jannen School of Arts and Sciences provides students with an array of opportunities to practice what they鈥檒l be implementing professionally after school.
