Wanda Restivo, Associate Professor, Teaching in Chemistry, discusses growing up in the Scaborough community and her experience as a student studying chemistry at UTSC in the 1970s and as faculty member beginning in the 1980s. She tells a rich story of what it was like to be a student on campus in the 1970s where she was the only female student in her chemistry program. Wanda compares the diversity in 2015, both in terms of students and faculty, with that of the early days as well as the impact of the change in the size of the campus. As a long time resident of Scarborough, she also talks about the development and demographic changes in the surrounding community.
