My Name is Liam Oland, I am from New Brunswick, Canada, and will be serving as one of the 4th semester class representatives this semester. I received a Bachelors in Pharmacy from Dalhousie University prior to making my way to SUSOM, which has proved very helpful in navigating the curriculum here. If I am not spending my weekends and evenings in the library, I can probably be found running or hiking one of the various trails on the island or having barbeques on the back deck with friends. Best of luck to those currently enrolled at SUSOM and to those who are soon to start on this beautiful island. Cheers!
