UWSA By-Elections
Uniter Staff
Voting for the UWSA By-Elections takes place October 29 - November 1. All positions are uncontested; therefore the vote is a yes or no.
Recreation and Athletics Director
My name is Margaux Miller, I am a second year student and I am running for the position of recreation and athletics director. I am personable, strong-minded and have a desire to be involved in campus activities and decision making. I have leadership skills and the drive to maintain a positive and healthy school environment.
Based on the interest of many students, I hope to start up an intramural or recreational soccer league. As well, I would like to work with the Wesmen to organize tailgaters (parties before and after we play the U of M) to support our teams. As a board member, I will strive to encourage student involvement in a number of diverse clubs and liaise with student groups to ensure that the voice of the student is heard.
Here's a little about me: I have been playing competitive soccer since I was three years old and currently play for a division one women's team. I have coached volleyball and basketball and have been a member of a badminton, fencing and even curling team. I love acting and singing as well and am currently recording as the voice of a cartoon character.
Co-Directors of Student Living
Stephen Milner:
I bring experience of communal living through the Katimavik program for which I obtained a leadership certificate for youth volunteerism. My interests include biking, social activities and I really enjoy relaxing with a cup of coffee.
Sean McMullen:
Working with the University's Off-Campus Housing Registry has given me insight into the struggles faced by students renting properties. I am a theatre graduate working towards a BSC in biology. I like animals, video games, and coffee.
Together we bring with us a combined four years experience as resident assistants in the University's Department of Student Housing. We believe student living concerns are the most important part of our duties as members of the university community, and feel the maintenance of a friendly and enjoyable living environment is key to the success of residents both on and off campus.
In this position we aim to generate discussion towards ways of diversifying student life for a stable and more sustainable life-style through:
Bridging student social connections on and off campus
Acknowledging inner city living, its realities and expenses to these students;
Bringing about integration and awareness of our on-campus housing services.
Science Co-Directors
Hello! We are Chelsea Duszak and André Tardiff and we are running as Science Co-Directors. We are both in our 3rd year of studies majoring in biochemistry, and biology respectively. We felt it best to have both genders representing the field and both are eager to contribute and make a difference.
As your Directors of Science we would act as representatives for you on issues brought to the UWSA board meetings, voicing concerns, opinions, or new ideas relating to the student body. We would also act as liaisons between the UWSA and current student groups.
As project ideas of our own, we wish to revitalize activity and awareness among the current student groups and revive some inactive clubs and some new ones (such as a Biology club). Furthermore, we wish to bring in speakers to discuss post-degree career and/or graduate opportunities for various faculties; particularly currently enrolled students in medical trades (i.e. medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy, pharmacy, etc) to share personal experiences and advice in their selected field.
Together we feel we have the energy, passion, and dedication to accomplish great things for both the science students and the student body as a whole.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and * Director
My name is Jonathan Niemczak, and I want to be your LGBT director. Why? Because I want to represent the LGBT community here at the University of Winnipeg and promote our diverse culture.
If elected I will promote LGBT events and fundraisers, raise awareness about LGBT outside of the University, create networks with other LGBT groups in other universities and around the city and boast respect and banish stereotypes about the LGBT community.
The LGBT community here at the University of Winnipeg is strong and diverse, we need a leader who is just as strong and diverse - I am that leader. Together we can build on our success and improve on our opportunities. So join me on election week and vote for strength.
