Platform: Bridging the Gap from Academics and the Workplace

Over the years being on BUCSC, the VP Events portfolio have always created events that’s been extraordingary and tremendous. The past year, looking at the BUCSC survey, the need for students is just more than social events. Students wants to learn how to network and how to integrate their academics to the workforce. As VP Events, I believe to address this student need. I would like to create and help with networking events for students. To work with Student Life Centre and promote those “How To” events. As well, to work closely with the VP Academics to create more academic events for students from all faculty. There’s been a raised awareness there are lack of networking opportunities for the students in the science field. The past following year, Alumni Brunch was held during Homecoming and it was a great event for 1^st year students to meet Alumnae. I hope to continue this tradition and improve it with the communication and organization. To also allow this event be a networking event that allow students and alumnae share experiences. I believe the life experiences from other generations and the wisdom they have is gold. To past on leadership so we can continue to grow and move forward.
