I'm Anika, and I am running to be your next VP Academic! As a fourth-year student in Neuroscience, I understand firsthand the struggles that Science students face in balancing a demanding academic workload with everything else university throws at us. Having previously served as SUS AVP Internal, VP Finance and Interim VP Academic, I've gained a thorough understanding of the impact that student voices can make in university-wide decisions. As your VP Academic, I will: ADVOCATE: I aim to advocate for support for proper AI usage in class, subsidized course materials, well-being resources during high-stress academic periods and more through productive discussions in Science Faculty meetings. DIVERSIFY: With SUS membership being mostly comprised of Life Science students, I aim to implement systems to help all students voice their concerns, which will shape SUS's advocacy goals. ALL Science voices should be heard, whether you are a statistics major or a biology major. CONNECT: How much do you know about SUS's Academic Portfolio and what it offers? As VP Academic, I will empower Science students with knowledge of the resources that SUS and UBC provide to help every student succeed!

Hey everyone! My name is Allan Yao and I'm super excited to be running for Integrated Sciences Department Rep. I think we have one of the coolest programs on campus - we get to blend varying disciplines, follow our curiosities, and create our own paths in science. That's why I want to run for Department Rep, where I'll sit in on SUS Council meetings and ensure the voices, ideas, and concerns of our Integrated Sciences community are heard. I'd love the chance to bring our perspectives forward and highlight ISCI's presence in the broader science community! Some things about me: I'm the treasurer of AMS Barista Club (please join), and I'm a huge MonsterTM fanatic, which basically means I have unlimited energy to bring to this role. I've also worked at BC Children's and volunteered all over the place, which has taught me how to listen, advocate for others, and collaborate to make things happen. As your Department Rep, I'll work hard to make sure SUS listens to whatever crazy things you guys might have in mind. Thanks for your consideration!

Hey Science first-years! My name is Daniel Tong, and I'm running to be your SUS First-Year Representative! I've been extremely grateful to meet some of you over the first few weeks, and it's inspired me to strengthen our sense of community, with my goal to make our first year of university a little less intimidating for us all. A little bit about myself: I am passionate about hockey and tennis, playing both sports since I was 5. If you can't find me doing either, you can find me studying in Orchard Commons. As a high school student-athlete, I ran multiple clubs that focused on building camaraderie through sport, reaffirming my passion for positively impacting my community. I am confident I can translate my success as a First-Year Rep, providing students with the resources to achieve their goals. Whether it's applying to research opportunities or making new friends, I'm making it my job to provide a platform to bring your ideas to fruition, such as offering exposure to hands-on opportunities and hosting immersive events. We're talking networking events with industry experts and themed game nights, all year long. And yes, there's matcha. Let's make our first year an unforgettable one!

Hello, I'm Aydin, a prospective Environmental Sciences student, and I'm hoping to be your First-Year representative at the SUS. As someone who works to bring people together to collaborate, I really want to bring skills I've built to UBC to represent first year science students and prioritize what we really want as a collective. Here are some skills I bring to the SUS: Coordinating Events: As part of my Neighborhood small grants and Greenest City Committees, as well as a co-head of my student council in high school, I've coordinated with fellow students and professional colleagues to plan, budget, and host events for hundreds of people Team-working/Collaboration: An Ethics Bowl competitor at the 2025 National Finals, I've had to adapt and change my mindset about collaboration, with a newfound focus on reasonable time management and making sure everyone can voice their expertise Public speaking: Beyond my public speaking experience in competitions, I was a lead representative of my school's Student Voice initiative - bringing the wishes of students to district official board meetings, leading to changes in our district curriculum and across school homerooms to have a heavier focus on mental health

I'll help make existing student resources more visible and easier to use. Opportunities: I'll coordinate with departments and science clubs to help organize networking sessions and research opportunities. Most importantly, I'll advocate for more options tailored to us first-years. Well-being: As an executive member of House Council in my residence, I oversee wellness initiatives. I'll gather feedback on stress, accessibility, and mental health to bring directly to SUS. Your concerns, questions and feedback will always be heard.

So, let's GROW together—for guidance, stronger resources, real opportunities, and well-being. Vote Lilly Zou for First-Year Representative in Science!!!!

My name is Megan Chen and I am running to be your next SUS First Year Rep! Since UBC's Faculty of Science is such a large faculty with so many people, we tend to be disconnected from other students in our faculty and feel like we aren't being heard, especially as first years in a new environment. As the First Year Rep, I am committed to making the undergraduate science student body more connected and being a voice for my fellow first years, advocating for YOUR issues and ideas, ensuring that inclusion is met and no student is left behind. I am not new to student leadership; at my high school, I was elected as the Grade Ten Representative, then the Grade Eleven Representative on the student council. In my grade twelve year, I was chosen to be the student council's Lead Social Media Coordinator, a member of the graduation council, and finally, the Class of 2025 Historian. My experience and commitment in the last three years has shaped me to be outgoing, compassionate, easy to talk to, an advocate for unheard voices, and more than qualified to be your next SUS First Year Representative!
