Honourary Lifetime Membership Committee

Top three platform points:

Reason why someone should vote for you in 100 words or less:

I think students know best as to what their undergraduate association should advocate the university for. These past weeks I’ve spoken to many students and clubs to hear their concerns. I know as an independent younger student with less experience, I will have to work extra hard to gain your trust, and one of the initiatives I’m taking is an open inbox to listen and understand even more students. As VPSL, I will strive to give a personal commitment to every student who approaches me. And if I can’t change your mind, I really hope to be ranked second.
