Hi dear capilano university members,
I always wanted to work for society by being on some position, not for attention and fame, but because I want to help more than one people at the same time. I believe that the first responsibility of every human being is to help and support each other and to defend those who can’t defend themselves. No doubt our university is the safest and comfortable place for everyone, but we have to maintain it more perfectly. Lets make life more fun togetherly.
Kapoor, Saksham
I would focus on helping students to be seen better, get involved, have their concerns heard, and take action to solve them.And to create opportunities for everyone at the university so everyone gets a chance.I will have everyone’s opinions on the decision-making board, ensuring that nobody feels excluded and disconnected for any reason.The goal is to elevate everyone.I’d be transparent about the working and the use of funds to ensure that every resource is used sustainably and is accounted for.

The CSU needs a stronger voice in the equality and environment fight. I have been part of the CSU since 2020 as Women Students Liaison and as President, so I have the skills and experience to be your best choice for this position. Together we can improve student’s lives! For strong advocacy, engaging campaigns, integration among students and someone that will actively listen to your worries! Remember, your student fees pay for student leaders’ work; the choice for a better Cap U is YOURS.

Torres, Karina Ricardo
My goal as VP of Equity and Sustainability would be to ensure a campus where everyone feels included and heard. One that functions responsibly and takes into account its educative purposes but also it’s surrounding social and environmental factors. I plan on engaging students through events, clubs and initiatives that help further my goals and create a lasting impact on the community I represent. Your vote matters, a vote for me is a true vote towards Equity and Sustainability.
Vu, Kaitlyn
Having the experience of moving from Vietnam, a slightly conservative country with little nation-wide programs regarding sustainability, to Canada, I have learnt a lot about equity and sustainability. By running for this position, I would like to use my understanding to help make campus a more inclusive and eco-friendly environment. As a first-year student, there is a lot I need and am eager to learn. I hope to continue the good work, and provide new insight for the CSU.
Wahdan, Shehab M.
As a person who hasn’t really had any good role models or leaders in his life, I wanted to be different and not just improve the lives of those around me but also inspire them. As VP, one of my goals is to help improve the mental health of students by finding free, easy to access resources for people suffering from trauma. This will come in 2 forms: through my own club and other means such as mental health days, different articles on mindfulness and even more external student support.

Fine & Applied Arts Representative
Karthikeyan, Shruti
As a Fine and Applied Arts student, we are quite isolated from the rest of the university. I’d like to change this and get us more involved. We could have creativity related contests, our work displayed on bulletin boards, faculty mixers, more painting sessions, care packages during exam periods, more free food available, etc. I’d also let the CSU know if there were any university events that clash with our schedule, voice out issues in your program and have class start times pushed to 9:00 am.

As queer liaison I plan on mirroring the sense of community I found at the VPS and making sure we have a welcoming, equitable, and safe environment for all.
Mittal, Raghav
I am running for the position of queer students liaison because I feel as a self identified bisexual man from India, I have been on quite a bit of a journey myself. It takes time for one to get comfortable with their sexuality and openly accept who they are. I aim to create a safe space for lgbtq+ and allies to meet, share ideas and love unapologetically.

Being an outgoing and good at communication, it has always been an asset for me to easily get involved among various cultures and people. As an international student, I have faced many communication barriers, but I came through them with confidence.

My goal is to boost morale in the students who do not participate in the regular activities as they hesitate to speak up in the public.
