She has been involved with Undergraduate Research in the Biology Department and served as the Asian American Studies Intern last year. Her twin is also a Dartmouth student so you may end up saying hi to her instead, but according to Sandy, "Don't be afraid to say hi though, she loves it when she seems popular". Sandy has felt that her study groups have served as a space to discuss and "go over" concepts she felt confused about during class. She realized that just talking aloud with others helped her look at the problems with a fresh perspective-something she could never get by mulling over questions alone.
Leader: Juan Sanchez
Class: 2013

Juan is looking forward to being a Study Group Leader because he thinks you can only master material when you are able to articulate it to another person, either in writing or by discussion in person. He hopes that his excitement for chemistry enlivens and relaxes the total experience of learning about chemistry, his favorite science, for his Study Group participants.
