Dorri Mahdaviani

Hi Everyone!I’m Dorri Mahdaviani and I am running to be your AMS representative. I have been involved with SUS throughout my undergraduate career both as a voting and non-voting member on council. During my initial year on council, I was the Environmental Science program representative where I sat on the Sales committee and Sports committee. I have also held the role of Sales Manager for SUS where along with my Co-chair, we brought you the first ever SUS Catalogue. Throughout the last few years, I have gained the skill set and determination that is mandatory for the role of AMS representative.

Being a fourth year student, I have the knowledge and experience to represent SUS and Science students effectively on the AMS council. Once elected, I want to ensure that YOUR voice is heard on the AMS council. I hope to liaise with elected VP Internal and Senator to *snip*

Candidate Bio
Eric Toyota

To all limbs of the Science-Student-Body,
I run with realistic goals, void of naivety, aware of my limitations and roles. As PRO and Electoral Administrator, I had the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of students. My experience as the Science student representative for the Teaching-Learning-Enhancement-Fund granted me valuable insight into all things academia. With friends that extend into all niches of sciences, I maintain a firm grasp on the feelings of students. You may think, “but I’ve never met this Toyota-kid.” Well, my friend, I know you. I know you very well.With your vote, I vow to fiercely protect the interests of science students, stretch limits of what can be accomplished, fight against injustices incurred upon all students, ‘and never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love’ (ladies).

Representing the rest: TOYOTA 2012.

Hi, my name is Hamid Safi and I am running to be your AMS Representative. I believe my experience in UBC (Science Week, Student Leadership Conference, Career Days and Grad Fair and C.L.A.S.S.) for the past three years give me ample knowledge and experience to effectively represent Science students on the AMS council.My goals:
· Making certain students are aware of all services available to them that would enhance their academic experience in UBC (ie. available informal learning spaces)
· Pushing to increase opportunities for more student involvement in both academic and non academic areas
· Working with both SUS Execs and AMS to secure funding and possibility for more undergrad research opportunities.

I will strive to work effectively in voicing not only SUS but all Science students on the AMS Council. Vote Hamid as your AMS Representative.
