Justin is a 4th year Computing Science and Linguistics Joint Major who sweated a little bit too hard on his courses in the last 2 semesters but ended up having it pay off in good grades. You may see him often at CSSS and non-CSSS events due to the nature of him tending to stay long hours on campus every day. He identifies as an Arts & Social Sciences Student due to the Linguistics side of his major and his minor in Cognitive Science too. He also lives a mere 15 minute drive or bus ride away from the Burnaby campus. If you ever run into him on campus, you might catch him trying to commit another session of CSIL isolation to push his mental limits to get the copious amounts of work done that he is required to.

Valerie is a fourth year CS major and Stats minor student. She calls it a 'DIY Data Science degree' and will never forget to mention that. When Val is not at school (and she is usually at school) you can find her escaping reality by watching reality TV and baking. So, if you want to discuss the latest and greatest reality TV drama while indulging in a brownie, then Val is your gal... ;D

Johnson is a third year CS student who also somehow wounded up minoring in philosophy. When not overdosing on coffee you can find Johnson waging a total war against the onslaught of ants that have invaded his home. That being said, he is always willing to lend a helping hand or will gladly be confused with you — mostly the latter.
