President Brandon Hussey |

Brandon is in the final year of his Honours BSc in psychology. Originally planning on becoming a clinical psychologist, he found that his motivation in terms of psychology courses in the social and cognitive realms were lacking. Gravitating more towards the side of psychology entrenched in the natural sciences, as well as all aspects of psychopathology, he began a serious overhaul of course selection, study habits, and lifestyle in attempts to prepare for medical school. Brandon recently did a research practicum with Dr. Hugo Lehmann and currently volunteers in said professor’s lab. He is also a volunteer in the emergency room of the Peterborough Regional Health Center. | |
