Meet Catherine
Friedman, Innis
College Student
and Innis Review
Arts Director!
Hey Innis!
I'm Catherine Friedman and I'm a third year
student specializing in cell and molecular biology
and minoring in European history. I like to spend
most of my free time working, volunteering, and
getting involved at U of T. For the second year
now, I have the pleasure of being the Executive
Arts Director of the Innis Review, where I work
with my team to design the layout and choose
great art and photography by Innis students to be
featured in the publication.
This year's review is looking great so far and will
be coming out in early April! Look out for free
copies at the front desk and check out
www.innisreview.tumblr.com to see last year's
publication!

anything related to financial worries whether now or looking ahead. And sometimes students
are able to apply for emergency financial aid.
