Banks Torgerson

Banks is a Double Dawg through and through, with an MPH in Epidemiology and dual bachelor's degrees in Biology and Psychology. 

While in grad school, Banks was a TA for Cellular Biology lab courses, creating instructional material to aid students in these difficult lab courses. As an undergrad, he researched STEM education, served as a Franklin College Student Ambassador, and was active in the Pi Kappa Beta honor society. Basically, he's been around campus and knows the academic grind inside and out. 

Banks loves helping fellow Dawgs sharpen their problem-solving skills and build a real understanding of the material beyond just memorizing for the test.
