In this video tour of the biology labs, he highlights the importance of mentorship and hands-on learning in shaping student experiences and fostering meaningful connections within the Langara community.
Lab Demonstrator, Geoffrey Nemeth, has a deep connection with Langara College. He studied biology here before completing a bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of British Columbia. He credits his time studying at at the College for giving him an advantage after transferring to university.
In first- and second-year here, [students] can work with a lot of equipment that [they] normally don't get to touch at a university until about third- or fourth-year, or sometimes even grad school. So we're really lucky to have the opportunity to work with this equipment here at Langara.
