ELECTION PLATFORM:

What would a student’s life be without fun? You will never have to find out thanks to my funification (no, it’s not a real word) project. It’s all about putting the "u" back in fun. As your Vice-President, Student Life, I will be everywhere doing everything, with one thing in mind – you. I will give you ownership of your Mount Royal experience by providing you with opportunities to get involved. My own extensive involvement with the Students’ Association, college and community has given me the insight that is needed to fulfil this position.

There are a few key goals aside from the funification project that I have coming into this position. I want to plan events that honour the diversity of the college, build on and expand student services, foster a positive working environment with clubs and societies, develop student leaders, and continue the efforts to make Wyckham House expansion a reality.

Each of us comes to college with a different and unique background. I believe these differences create a mosaic of culture. It is my personal goal to make every student feel that Mount Royal is their own. I want to make sure that there is something for everyone. I can do this by promoting concerts in the Liberty, supporting club and society initiatives, planning awareness weeks and, most importantly, making sure that you know what is going on.
