Hey Falcons!

My name is Kaitlin Crow and I am running to represent you as an FSU Director for the 2018/2019 School year. I am currently enrolled in Special Events Planning here at Fanshawe College in my first year. I have recently graduated from Trent University and Fleming College where I have spent the last 5 years dedicating my time to helping students succeed. My experience at Trent University on the Student Cabinet has given me the skills to champion the needs of students and navigate meetings on your behalf.

Student resources and involvement is important to me. I wish to work on enhancing student services here at Fanshawe. As well as bringing more student engagement to the Downtown Campuses.

If you have any questions for me or would like to know more about my platform, please feel free to email me at k_crow@nullfanshaweonline.ca.

Hi there, my name is Jaylan Harvie, and I’m running for a Director position within Fanshawe Student Union. I’m Currently in Business Fundamentals with the intent to move into Business Marketing; I’ve always had a strong passion for school, and both the Faculty and Students have made Fanshawe the most desirable and exhilarating experience one could have in college.  I am confident that my experiences, knowledge, and leadership are the most essential of skills and more that I bring to the table.

Last year I had the amazing pleasure to work as a Fanshawe Student Union Event Ambassador and that allowed me to get to know the student body up close as well as be a reputable source for the happenings in Fanshawe. I had also gotten the privilege to organize and host a karaoke fundraiser for Fanshawe students and all proceeds went towards the Boys and Girls Club of London. Currently on my off time I volunteer for a Foster care agency (Key Assets Children’s services) where I assist in training and educating new foster parents for children in care; someday I hope to work in or start a non-profit that primarily targets youth for a smooth transition into adulthood via services pertaining to housing, employment, and school. I look forward to taking these same skills along with my passion into being a Director for the Fanshawe Student Union.

As a student of 2 years at Fanshawe’s Downtown campus, I have dedicated much of my time to advocating for student needs ensuring that each and every student has the best possible college experience.

My platform rests on 3 straightforward ideas: student safety, student accessibility, and student advocacy. Student safety should be a hallmark of every College, University, and educational institution. I believe that every student has the right to feel safe both on and off campus and should have access to programs that promote safety. One of my main goals is to implement a safe-walk program to ensure that students make it safely to and from their campus. Additionally, I believe that all students should have better access to any student services they may require, regardless of which campus they attend. This includes access to counselling and accessibility services, health services, campus security, test centres, and many more. No student should have difficulty seeking out the help they need and I want to ensure that this never happens again. Finally, I have firm beliefs in student advocacy. As your Director, I will make it my top priority to be available for any students wishing to speak to me about their needs, struggles, or ideas. I promise to advocate on behalf of each and every student to ensure that your time at Fanshawe is unprecedented.

You all deserve the best and I will deliver that. Elect me as your FSU Director and give a voice back to the students.

Hello Fanshawe family,

I am Abdul Mubash Kallan an international student, graduate in Engineering Technology. My interest towards learning new skills leads to Fanshawe; pursuing Practical Elements of Mechanical Engineering. I am inclined to serving Fanshawe and community with every bit of experience I endured during my secondary schooling and graduate study. As a Chairman of the Student Council in my previous educational institute for about 2 Years, I organized and executed events and cultural activities of students. As a student representative, I looked after the student crisis and issues concerning student life. Every step aimed towards providing a quality experience as a student and an enjoyable college environment.

My professional life has always focused on the development and improvement of the system. I have over 3 years of experience in the automotive industry, started my carrier as a Tool and Die engineer and became the Manufacturing Supervisor when leaving the Organization. I have received many accolades for my involvement in extracurricular activities, moreover, I could represent India in World Skill Olympics-2011, London, the UK in Automation trade.

I presume that my previous experiences will help serve the Fanshawe Student Union and believe leadership and management being my strong abilities will add value as a director of the Fanshawe Student Union. It would be a privilege to serve and study at Fanshawe College. I ask the students to give me this opportunity to be the voice of you.

I assure, your concerns will be my priority.

Hey Fanshawe Students, I am Imani Rampassard and I will be running for Fanshawe student Union Director 2018/2019. I was born in Kingston, Jamaica where I lived for 19 years.

I am currently in my 2nd year within the Business Logistics and Supply Chain Management program. I have working experience in Managerial fields, and I plan to own and operate my own business one day. I have chosen Fanshawe to be the vessel that helps me achieve my dream on the grounds that it is praised as one of the best colleges in Ontario. I selected to run for FSU Director to represent students, share my ideas, express student concerns and to ensure that Fanshawe remain the friendly and diverse environment we all know and love.

Hey Fanshawe! My name is Natassha Ruiz and I am currently running to become a FSU Director!I am currently in my second (and final!!) year of Protection, Security, and Investigations (PSI). In the near future, I hope to have a career as a Border Services officer with the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA).

If you were to ask my friends one word to describe me, it would be outgoing. I’m a very outgoing person making me easier to approach, and with my outgoing personality and my passion for advocacy, I believe I would be a great fit as a Director for the Fanshawe Student Union. In my first year at Fanshawe I was a class representative for my program. During my time as a class rep, I was able to take student issues and bring them to the student union to find a way to resolve them. I personally believe that you shouldn’t be having to go through obstacles just to receive the education that you deserve (and paid for…). Being elected as Director would give me more access to resources making it easier and faster to resolve student issues.

Thanks for taking time to read my bio and I hope that you vote me to be one as one of your FSU Directors!

Also running in the election are:
  • Khanna, Sahil
  • Patel, Dakshesh
