#LivingLoran Ryan Jamula (Loran Scholar '14) is a

#LivingLoran Ryan Jamula (Loran Scholar '14) is an MA student in Sociology at UBC and a research assistant at the BC Centre on Substance Use. Interested in questions about social inequality and health, he is currently working on research surrounding the opioid overdose crisis, marginalization, and social policy:

“Government policy can play an important role in addressing social inequality, but there’s often a disconnect between those with the power to make changes, and the people most impacted by these decisions. I think sociology can help bridge that gap, by highlighting lived experiences in the work we do. We can use that research to demand better; narratives can be an agent for social change. That’s what I hope to be contributing to, even in some small way.”

“Hey! I’m Marilyn Sheen, a 2019 Rebanks Family

“Hey! I’m Marilyn Sheen, a 2019 Rebanks Family Loran Scholar. In the fall I will be starting my second year studying Biological Science at the University of Guelph. This summer I am working (from home) as a communications intern at the One Health Institute at the University of Guelph. Through this position, I am having video call conversations with One Health researchers on campus and writing research stories about them. I spend my spare time mountain biking, coaching mountain biking, and hanging out on my favourite PEI beaches.”

“Mr. Magnifico helps students find their passion

“Mr. Magnifico helps students find their passions by challenging them to try new things and learn from those experiences. Grade 11 was the year I signed up for the Imagine program, directed by Mr. Magnifico. In this program, he helped students develop their personal abilities and interests through participating in conferences, competitions, volunteering events, and seminars. That same year, I lost the fear of getting out of my comfort zone thanks to Mr. Magnifico! He signed me up for events and competitions I never thought I’d enjoy. Because of this, I was able to develop leadership skills and a passion for engineering and entrepreneurship. His mentorship paved a new path in my life that made me who I am today. It felt like I was a lost student without a purpose finally able to see the light for a successful life. Thank you @anomagnifico for helping me find my purpose! Having you as a teacher brought a positive change in my life.”
