Rhy October 13, 2016 - 10:27am

Rhy McMillan is on a mission fuelled by a deep curiosity around an age-old question: What does it mean to be human? When he was a first year student at VIU, Rhy decided to explore this question, and found answers he was searching for in courses like Anthropology and Earth Science, which he combined as a major and minor respectively to complete his BA at VIU. Today, Rhy is a graduate student, as well as a teaching and research assistant in UBC's Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences Department, and a trainee in UBC's Multidisciplinary Applied Geochemistry Network (MAGNET).
