Hi I’m Melanie Rintjema.I am really excited about this possible opportunity to help the students at Fanshawe and specifically in the school of design. Last semester I was the Student Administrative Council Representative for the School of Design, and I would love the opportunity to continue the work I was doing. I am studying Fashion Merchandising and I am in my last year. Over the past year at Fanshawe I have learned a lot about the school and the students here. I believe I would be a great candidate because I am very organized, hardworking, and focused. I have student council experience from high school and I have always loved being a leader.

Communication is the key to any great relationship. It’s through communication that we affect real change. As a Business Marketing Student at Fanshawe with my eyes set on making waves in the Public Relations field, I’ve made it my personal goal to act as the bridge that enables your voice to be heard. Creating connections and opening up lines of communication is my innate expertise and a skill that I have utilized for the benefit of others time and time again. Because advocating for people within our local community is such a passion of mine, in 2014 I conceptualized and singularly ran a very successful campaign in support of the Thames Valley Educational Foundation. This particular Foundation assists local students in area schools to get access to basic needs like food and shelter. Through this campaign I raised over 700 dollars in less than 12 hours. Additionally, throughout High School I took part in student council and multiple committees, with duties including, running our multicultural food fair, broadcasting morning announcements and creating promotional materials for major events. I strongly believe in doing what you love and loving what you do. I love connecting with people and inspiring them to speak up and I want to build a strong relationship with you so that together, we can positively influence Fanshawe. You have wants and concerns. You have a voice and a choice and we’re going to use Social Media to have your voice heard. Our time... is now!

Also running for the position of Lawrence Kinlin School of Business SAC rep are:

• Talwar, Nitin

Prado, Bruno

Prado, Bruno

Hello, my name is Bruno Prado.I am a second year photography student running for S.A.C. representative for the School of Contemporary Media! I originally come from the country of Brazil, and just celebrated my 7th year here in Canada. My stay in Canada has taught me a lot about the values found by the people here: helping those in need, volunteering, taking a stand for what is right. These are the values that I plan on bringing every day to the Student Administrative Council should I be elected, and what I hope I’ve been displaying to those of you that have met me on a day-to-day basis. I aim to give a strong and approachable voice to all the people in my Academic School, to challenge the status quo where it needs to be challenged, and to help make the student experience as best as it can be.

Smith, Jahmoyia

Smith, Jahmoyia

‘Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon em’ (Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, 1602). This unique idiom is a constant guide to my inevitable achievement of greatness. I center my goals and objectives in life on this profound piece of literature. My name is Jahmoyia Davena Smith, a name which has no researched meaning; however, I dare to be different and set myself apart. “Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?”( Ian Wallace). This short quotation has permitted me to use my confidence to ‘conquer’ any unfamiliar surroundings which my presence has the opportunity to grace for a long period of time. Nonetheless, a few character traits which I have garner in all my years of interacting with people of different culture, ethnicity and background in an educational environment are; selflessness and hospitability. My dream in life is to become a criminal lawyer, however I have made the expert decision of pursuing a career in Early Childhood leadership.I believe that a college experience should be an adventure story that each person writes with their experiences, a story that will remain stamped in the individuals’ memory for the rest of their lives. In order to garner such unforgettable college experiences, the individual must be given countless social and exciting opportunities, if elected Student Council for Human Services and Public Safety, I will give each and every Student in my school the opportunity to make his or hers’ college story a great one.

Ticco, Julian

Ticco, Julian

Yo Falcons,I am a fellow student at Fanshawe College currently enrolled in Avionics Maintenance/Engineering at London International Airport and am running for FSU SAC Transportation and Aviation Technology. Although aviation is one of my most major fascinations, it is not my only. Throughout my academic timeline I have come to learn what builds genuine character and intelligence in any community of people is ‘fun’. Yes, going to class and completing your work should always be a main priority and enjoyed in an artistic manner but pure ‘fun’ is close second. Get involved, blow off some steam by joining the gym, a sports team, a club, play pool, play ping pong, play beer pong, play both. At Fanshawe I see infinite possibilities for improvement of not only academic relation but events and extracurricular activities as a whole. I feel that every student has a right to share their thoughts and ideas so feel free to shoot me an e-mail at julianticco@gmail.com any time or add me on facebook.Thank-you and have a Falcon Awesome day,Julian Ticco
