Faculty in Residence
Vianey Leos Barajas
Vianey Leos Barajas is an Assistant Professor, jointly-appointed between the Department of Statistical Sciences and School of the Environment at the University of Toronto.
She is primarily interested in working in the areas of ecological statistics, time series modeling, Bayesian statistics and, more recently, spatial modeling of environmental data. She is currently a faculty affiliate at the Vector Institute and a faculty member of the Centre for Global Change Science. Collaborative projects bring her joy, so while she is formally trained in mathematics and statistics, you’ll likely find her working closely with ecologists (especially those who work with sharks) on various projects.
Community Wellness Coordinator
The Community Wellness Coordinators coordinates and facilitate programs for all Chestnut residents so you’ll likely encounter them out and about in the community. They also work to help develop a wellness framework for the Chestnut Residence Life program and will regularly solicit feedback from the residence community on their experiences with health and wellness.
Opportunities
Join the Urban crew

- Be an integral part of the team that shapes the social hub of our residence.
- Gain practical skills in event management, community engagement, and teamwork.
- Showcase your leadership potential and enhance your résumé.
- Receive a well-deserved honorarium for your dedication of $250 per semester (total of $500 for Fall/Winter)
- As a token of appreciation and a keepsake, get an exclusive Urban Crew T-shirt, which we encourage you to wear during your shifts.
