Shayan on ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë: 
During my time at ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë, I had the privilege of working alongside a dedicated team in the Student Union as Vice President of Events and Social Activities. Together, we organized events that bridged the gap between newcomers and domestic students, fostering meaningful connections and a sense of belonging. Our team’s efforts extended beyond just social activities—I collaborated to enhance campus life, establish a food bank for students in need, and work with Indigenous groups to celebrate First Nation culture. My mission was to create an inclusive, vibrant community where every student felt supported and empowered to succeed.
