FSU VP External and Academic Affairs
JAYME-MARIE DODGE, FSU PVP External and Academic Affairs candidate
Hello Falcons,
My name is Jayme Dodge and I am running for the FSU VP of External and Academic Affairs for the 2016-2017 school year. Some of you may know me as the “girl who gave you a tour” over the summer during Head Start or the chick who made the “killer breakfast” during my two years working in the Oasis Restaurant.
I am a Fanshawe graduate in the Child and Youth Worker program and currently completing a post grad in Autism and Behavioural Sciences- that means I am passionate about helping others. I am in my fourth year at Fanshawe and I absolutely love it here.
I believe in respect, understanding, teamwork and compassion. In order to perform this job correctly, one must have more than just knowledge and skill, they need deep-rooted kindness. I believe I possess this quality and I will help... YOU, the students of Fanshawe.
Vote for me on Wednesday, October 12th at 9 a.m. - Thursday, October 13th at 4 p.m. on FOL or at the polling stations set up throughout the campus.
PATRICE MITCHELL, FSU PVP External and Academic Affairs candidate
Hi! My name is Patrice Mitchell and I’m on a mission to be the new VP of External and Aca-demic Affairs. For the times when you need support, guidance, or representation, I’ll be the person who has your back. I’m here at Fanshawe College completing my final year in the GIS & Urban Planning program but I’ve been through university, college, and the professional workforce for a couple of years before this so you can count on me to keep your affairs in order. Remember, my job is to make your life easier because I was there, so Vote Patrice For VP because you deserve to breathe easier!
FSU VP Athletics and Residence Life
KIMBERLEY FRANCIS, FSU PVP Athletics and Residence Life candidate
Hey Falcons!!!
My name is Kimberley Francis and I am an international student from the beautiful island of Jamaica, the home of Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world. I came to Canada for the first time in December 2015 and it has been a great experience for me ever since. I started and completed my first post-graduate program in Logistics & Supply Chain Management last academic school year, 2015-2016, and I am currently pursuing my second post-grad in Project Management. I may be a familiar face to some of you who have seen me at the front desk at the residence office, or through the FSU Club CASA (Caribbean and African Student’s Association), or some other social activity on campus. I am very enthusiastic about improving the social lives of students on campus, and making the time we spend here at Fanshawe even more worthwhile. For this reason, I have decided to run for the position of VP of Athletics and Residence Life.
For many of us, Fanshawe is our home away from home, and it is im-portant we feel this way in order to keep us motivated and excelling in our academics. It is also important that our athletes and non-athletes have the opportunity to develop and showcase their talents. After all, the next world champion may be a Fanshawe Alumni.
It was Emil Zatopek who had said “An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.” (Emil Zatopek n.d.) Let’s keep the dreams alive Falcons and vote for Kim!
ABDI YOUSUF, FSU PVP Athletics and Residence Life candidate
Hello Falcons,
My name is Abdi Yousuf, I will be running for VP of Athletics & Residence life. This is my third year back at Fanshawe and I want to make it exciting for you and me as well. I graduated the Avionics program and now I am the Aircraft Structural Repair program, so I like planes and want to work on them. Last year I was a part of the student council and my position was Student Administrative Council (SAC) of the school of Transportation Technology. What I learned from my previous position is how diverse our Fanshawe community is, and how to listen to concerns students brought to me, and to advocate for these students to bring their concerns to attention, and to a resolution.
Furthermore, if I am elected as your VP I want to collaborate with RAs and Athletics to bring events for you to have fun, what is a better way to deal with stress then some food and exercise. In addition, we have very talented students here on our varsity teams, and I want to make sure you get the chance to see the games where they excel at. Now some of you may be reading this and think I am on a rant, but I just want to get you more aware of all the things we can provide so you can fully enjoy your stay here at Fanshawe.
Thank You,
Abdi Yousuf
