I present to you each click in today’s long stream of clicks that carried me through mud and maple leaves into yet another rainy day rabbit hole.
Over the past few weeks, The Ubyssey news team has broken down what the UNA is and does, as well as spoken to each of the candidates vying for one of the seven open seats on the Board.
If elected to the Board, Mojdehi wants to focus on making UBC safer, creating a more “vibrant community” and making campus more pet-friendly.
Watson is a local minister, pastor and community resident of 15 years.
Kang believes that like other residents, students want a safe place to live in, and thus, she would focus on ensuring that if elected.
An active community volunteer and passionate advocate for social and climate justice, Fei Liu wants to “build up communication channels” in the UNA.
The Hawthorn Place resident was first elected to the UNA board in 2019 and hopes to continue his work for another three years.
If elected, Ngieng has three main goals: she wants to increase the amount of affordable housing in the UNA, increase community safety and push for more transparency.
“I’ve met so many people from all walks of life facing different problems and I really want to play my role in creating a better community for everyone,” Co said.
A resident of Wesbrook Place, Cheng is running for what would be his first term on the Board. His top priorities for the Board are improving neighbourhood safety and sustainability.
Gallo also said that she would like to improve the involvement of students. She plans on doing so by collecting their opinions through Qualtrics surveys.
“I thought it was really important to have individuals that are student-aged, are connected to students and have them be able to represent their thoughts and voices on the Board,” Gan said.
Glassheim recognizes that representation is a key point. “I'd want to really be open to the voices of neighbours and other residents. Hopefully, I would learn a lot in the process.”
For Holmes, “the UNA is evolving and entering a new stage” which he wants to be part of, irregardless of whether or not he gets re-elected.
