Science Student Senator

Elect ONE of the following candidates:

Candidate Bio
Adam Ziada

Hi my name is Adam Ziada, I am in 2nd year Microbiology and Immunology and I am running to be YOUR next Science Student Senator. I am running because I am passionate about working with students and faculty to enrich undergraduate education at UBC. Senate works to further academia at UBC, and I feel that I have the skills and experience required to strengthen academic events, voice student concerns, and lobby for student’s needs.

Ultimately, I want to smooth transitions between years, and to life after university. This entails:

1. Academic Events: introduce new academic events and improve on existing that inform students about research opportunities, professional schools, and life after their degrees.

2. Science Advising: Work with the faculty to improve science advising by making it more accessible and helpful.

3. Resumes/CVs: Arrange events and leadership opertunities that students can put on their resumes/CVs

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.

Candidate Bio
Natalie Liu

Hello Science Students!

My name is Natalie Liu, I am a 4th year Biology student, and I am running to be YOUR next Science Student Senator! I am a current SUS executive as the Public Relations Officer and have also been a Biology Program Representative for 2 years. I have developed an extensive understanding of SUS governance and its strategic plan.

Three main goals I hope to see implemented are:

  • Enhancing quality of student learning by providing more feedback mechanisms to tailor advocacy and lobbying efforts
  • Expand enriched educational experiences by increasing awareness of opportunities like co-op, exchange, & internships, and creating more informational workshops for graduating science students.
  • Restructuring the SUS Academic Committee to support student well-being and personal development by focusing projects on science mentorship programs, mental health and wellness awareness, and the Science Information Centre.

Hello Everyone and thank you for your time!
My name is Pavin Takhar and I am running for the privilege of becoming your next Science Student Senator! This year I had the opportunity to serve as Chemistry Representative of SUS as well as sitting on the Sports and Academic Committee. With my involvement in the Academic Committee I received a good introduction to the position of Senator and I will use my newly gained knowledge and leadership skills to improve the academic system for all science students.
If chosen as Science Student Senator I will work towards

  • Improving academic resources for students
  • Developing transition programs and resources for graduating students in their final year

Two issues I feel strongly about
