Executive Candidates

Elections
Executives are full-time paid positions, fulfilling fundamental roles in the association. VP Campus Life, sometimes called "VP Fun," manages clubs, plans events, and runs a surprisingly high amount of logistics in TDSA's day to day activities. VP University Affairs is largely a policy writer, reviewing and refreshing the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance's governmental recommendations to improve students' lives. An important note is tat TDSA's executive structure is non-hierarchical, meaning the VPs are of the same power level as the President. That said, President is an overseer of the organization, making sure all employees, execs, and volunteers are taken into consideration and supported.

2022, Dual certificate post graduate degree, marketing and human resource management. 
Why are you running for this position?
I have been actively working with the TDSA since September and am therefore well acquainted with their operations.
Moreover, being an international student, I firmly believe that I can contribute to creating a more inclusive community.
I have had the gratifying opportunity of being directly involved in helping organize events on campus and that has made me understand what attracts the student body. I hope to sincerely deliver on engagement. I want an improved student advocacy, for both international and domestic students. I can build that up with my conscientious efforts and pave the way to an ideal team that works diligently and dedicatedly.

Year 1, Communications
Why are you running for this position?
The TDSA offers a unique chance to be a part of both the engagement and development within the campus community. In my short time here I have already had the chance to meet and interact with many individuals throughout the various faucets of the school, be it in clubs, classes, or individually, and as such would like to further that experience in an official capacity. Lastly, the size of our campus creates a unique microsphere where one can meet many others, however without encouragement, it can be hard for many to feel included. My goal will be to further strengthen the bonds within our community, as well as create new ones, for all of the student body.
