“I don’t think I have a particular weakness. I think I’m great. I think I will be the best student representative for next year. I’m the outsider. I intend on representing the UBC students. I’m proud to be the outsider. I intend to be great.”

“There’s always differing points of view … and because I’ve worked with a variety of people, I think that I have a pretty good ability and understanding on compromising and on working things out through discussion.”
“What's going to set me apart from the other candidates is my experience personally dealing with students from my work in Arts Academic Advising and my intention to focus this year on finishing other projects.”
“I am really interested maximizing student spaces. Not in the way I’ve heard thrown around with 24 hour study spaces. I want to improve student engagement be informed making it easier for them to look up information on running next year.”
“It’s very difficult to come up with something new ... it seems more beneficial to actually achieve those goals that Senate decided on three years ago. My platform is working with what the Senate has done three years before.”
“Coming from a background where I’ve just been involved as a residence advisor, UBC in exchange, as well as clubs on campus, I think that I bring a different perspective to the role. I think that I bring enough fresh perspective.”
I would love to work with the ad-hoc mental health committee because I am a huge mental health advocate and used Access & Diversity before. I’ve seen the state of mental health on campus and it’s improving, thanks to the work of our current senators.
“The mental health aspects are definitely stemming from my experiences this year, where we have a regular standard time table where we take 8 courses ... It motivated me to advocate not only for better mental health, but for the smaller departments.”
"I’m a good advocate. I think I know the campus well enough to be able to advocate for students and really, it fits exactly my vision and what I think we should prioritize for UBC, to introduce the idea of a united campus."
“For a lot of candidates, they want to talk about what they want to bring to the senate. But for me, a lot of my platform is also looking at how we can improve student senate caucus so that we can better hear student’s voices.”
“What sets me apart from the opposition [is that], in all honesty, I’m just someone who’s new to the game. I know there’s people who have been in the AMS for a while … but I think having an outside viewpoint is important in a lot of these things.”
“Right now, what I really bring to the table is I can hit the ground running — I don’t have to do any learning, any research for the summer months. If I get elected, I [can] continue with the projects Mat and myself have been working on"
“I’ve been working under the VP Academic’s office as the mental health commissioner over the last two years, so I’ve gotten to work with two different VP Academics. Through this position I’ve done a lot in terms of research and advocacy.”
“One of the main platform pieces that sets me apart ... is my piece on harassment discrimination and I hope to start a discussion with regards to sexual assault and that's particularly effective in the graduate student community recently.”
“My platform is really focused on student health, development and wellbeing. Those are my three main categories that I’m focused on. Mental health is a big one. I want to introduce a fall reading break and really advocate for that.”
