Janjua
Nadir Janjua
Hi, my name is Nadir Janjua, and I aim to be the next president of TMSU. The current circumstances of the organisation have made me eager to tackle the work of improving transparency in our union and I am highly determined to rectify the financial and non-financial malpractices that have befallen us in the past. I plan to enforce strict financial control in my capacity as the president that will encourage moral behaviour and responsibility. By encouraging openness in all that I do and making sure that every student is aware of how union money are being used for their advantage, I will make an unwavering effort to restore confidence. In my ideal world, a financially sound union where the betterment of student life comes first will inspire confidence in its members.
A few things I plan to do within the first 90 day of my term are as stated: 1. Investigate all previous scandals pertaining to financial mismanagement, sexual harrasment allegations and procedural fairness of staff members. 2. Making the audit report of the organisation public for the last 10 years including fiscal year 2020-2021. I pledge to make student’s interest a priority. I want you all to vote for Team Celestial to bring an end to malpractices in the organisation and foster transparency & accountability. #Vote for Celestial
Aleksander Strazisar
Aleksander Strazisar
Hello TMU students, my name is Aleks, and I am the previously elected VP Operations of the TMSU, and a 4th-year Economics and Finance student. I am campaigning for a vibrant,
accountable, and student centric TMSU.
Over the years, I’ve been deeply involved in campus life, serving in roles like:
● President of the Economics Course Union,
● Chapter Head of Investa Insights, and
● VP Finance for SASSH.
My experience as VP Operations of the TMSU the past months has been eye opening. I
finished the 2023-2024 budget, worked towards better discounts for students, oversaw our tax
clinic and services, and moved towards improving the accountability and transparency of the
organization.
Despite these reasonable successes, my time in office has been marked by the discovery that
the staff hired by Siddanth Satish, who is in a lawsuit for financial mismanagement, continue to
work in our Students’ Union. To put it simply, it is not possible for the Students’ Union to do
anything while employees enjoy extensive rights and privileges, show up late, leave early, and
take a long lunch on our dime. If you are interested in this continuing scandal, you can read
more here.
I think it’s time for a change, one that brings back the Union to students, and away from a small
group of friends. I believe that the previous executive team had the right idea but were unable to
move forward. Luckily for us, we have an amazing ace up our sleeve, the collective agreement
which offers these staff 80+ pages of rights and privileges has expired. The new team coming in
this year will have the power to right the wrongs of the past five years.
If you like this. I encourage you to vote for Students Leading Change, consisting of myself,
Patricia, Hetu, Ariana, and Meia.
Lauren
Barch
Lauren Barch
Hi! My name is Lauren Barch and I am currently in my second year Nutrition student at TMU. I graduated from a similar program at McGill before deciding I wanted to pursue my qualifications to become a dietician. Like many students, I was unaware and indifferent to the services the student union offered as there seemed to be a lack of communication, promotion, and trust associated with the TMSU. Through my experience as the Interim Good Food Centre Coordinator, working at the building service front desk, and having been a graduate from McGill University, I have not only seen struggles students face within our student community, but I have also learned how we can make a difference and improve our campus.
Running to be your next TMSU President, along with my team, Students in Action, I plan on rebuilding the trust in the TMU community. Alongside my team, I will work every day next year to make your life at TMU better. I want to ensure collaborations between faculties, societies, and students. Elect us, and we will fight to improve student services, enhancing work opportunities, and student engagement that you have been asking for.

Ariana Zuniga
Hi! Our team, SLC, is driven through our experiences in making a responsible TMSU. I have been actively involved in various campus groups:
• Current Director of Aerospace Engineering – TMSU
• Engaging in many committees
• Engineering Design Teams
• Merchandise Manager for TMLI (Glider Team) – I design all related merchandise for the team as well as supporting team events and competitions.
• Active Member in MetRocketry – I collaborate with a team of engineers on design ideas and solutions for constructing rockets.
Each position, along with balancing aerospace engineering courses and work outside of school has guided me on having strong organizational skills and these variety of roles have allowed me to broaden my perspectives. Additionally, it is important for me to consistently give my utmost effort and follow through on my commitments. My time as part of the TMSU has shown me the importance of having structures in place to ensure the proper use of funds and I aspire to be able to implement initiatives to obtain this. By being a part of student groups and design teams, I have seen first hand how important it is to have sufficient funding to be able to work on these projects that can enhance one’s experience for their career. As someone already thinking about their co-op term, I believe that providing co-op students with on campus internships at TMU would not only give them excellent work opportunities, but would create a space that is run for the students, by the students. I eagerly look forward to contributing meaningfully to the TMSU this term!

Zo Khalid
Hi, TMU!!! Zo Khalid here, a second-year Public Health Co-op program student in FCS. Like many other TMU students who identify as POC, I grew up experiencing racist remarks and subtle but pervasive discrimination in the BIPOC Community that has plagued the lives of many from these minorized communities. Recognizing my privilege, relating to experiences of discrimination and learning about equity issues, I aim to make positive changes and improve the lives of others.
When I got to TMU, the Faculty of Community Services Society gave me the opportunity to make those changes for the second-largest faculty (FCS) at TMU. Serving as VP of Finance for FCSS has given me extensive experience in academic budgeting and student support. Furthermore, serving as the current co-president of Hemoglobal TMU and Met Desi Alliance and BIPOC lead at TMSU last summer gave me a true awareness of what we are lacking as a University and what additional resources our student union can provide for the struggling student body to succeed academically and thrive within their social/campus life here at TMU.
Running to be your next VP Operations at TMSU, I hope to revive the trust that the TMU community once placed in TMSU by:
Financial Transparency and Student Group Support for over 200 groups within TMU.
Ensuring financial transparency.
Advocating for paid placements, synergy, and food insecurity.
Fostering collegial relationships among the student body, faculties, societies, and TMU.
Our slate aims to provide equity, hospitality, care, and transparency to all students at TMU, ensuring fairness among all students because it is only imperative that we students look out for one another 🙂

Alessandra Baltodano Lucho
Alessandra Baltodano Lucho
Hello hello!
My name is Alessandra Baltodano Lucho (she/her), and I am a third-year international student from Peru in the Creative Industries Program.
I am currently employed at TMSU as the Events Lead, meaning that I have already been able to contribute to student life on campus, but I want to be able to have a bigger impact on it. Moreover, I have also been involved in student groups like OLAS (Organization of Latin American Students) which I am now the President of, and also the CICU (Creative Industries Course Union) where I have been a Year Rep and President. These experiences have provided me with insight into events and activities that truly impact the quality of the student life on campus, and how important it is to find your community, to feel safe and a sense of belonging.
I am running to be the next VP of Student Life because I know I can create a positive impact on making students feel safe and have fun, while also focusing on their academics. I know how important student groups and course unions are to creating a strong and enjoyable campus community. This is why I cannot wait to use my own experience in campus groups to support all of the amazing things they do on our campus – especially in celebrating TMU’s cultural diversity. As VP of Student Life, I will focus on creating/providing space for more cultural events where international and domestic students from different backgrounds can feel represented and seen by the university. I also will focus on improving the mental health support we offer during midterms and finals, as many students find that they cannot fully enjoy their university experience due to their academic burdens.

Srivastava
Aadreeka Srivastava
Hello, my name is Aadreeka Srivastava, and I’m a second-year computer science major student. My primary objective in this position is to enhance the overall university experience for all the students.
It is really important to commit myself to the wants and needs of the voters. That is why, if elected, I will hold surveys and polls regularly to get to know the students’ points of view more efficiently.
My goal is to create a diverse range of events that align with the interests of all students, ensuring there’s something enjoyable for everyone. Central to this vision is making sure that our events are not only more frequent but also safer, building an environment where students can socialize without concerns. I am dedicated to promoting inclusivity, prioritizing campus safety, and delivering great events.
I am fully aware of the financial hardships students encounter. Therefore, by collaborating with local businesses, I aim to secure more student discounts, making student life more affordable and enjoyable. Additionally, supporting local businesses will strengthen our community bonds and benefit us financially.
Furthermore, as an international student, I am committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity within our university, ensuring every culture is honored and reflected. I will always advocate for minority voices to be included, ensuring every student feels appreciated.

I’m running for VP of Student Life as a way to provide a new quality to our student events on campus. I’ve been connecting businesses with our campus since last year, in which I negotiated tens of thousands in compensation for the TMSU. I have big plans for how we can improve students’ events as well as create a proper platform for bringing new energy into the union. There is no doubt about how privileged we are at TMSU, to be able to operate with a lot of choices over how our students are represented and advocated for. The number of opportunities is endless, including creating more sponsored networking events within the SCC, creating talent incubator programs based on talent pooling, and having more student creatives involved in our events like Pub Nights and the Week of Welcome. Also, I want to be able to create a stronger alumni network and build strong relationships between former members of the TMSU that will hopefully bring in more resources for students, and that requires showing the current students that the TMSU can be an indispensable force for propelling your life as a student and as a person.
Vice-President, Equity

Yumna
Hussain
Hello everyone! My name is Yumna Hussain and I am a third year student in the Social Work program. Like the other members of my slate, my time working and volunteering in the student union, specifically at the Centre for Safer Sex and Sexual Violence, has inspired me to take a bigger role at our school.
Previously I studied at Sheridan College before transferring to TMU, and I have worked and volunteered in various social service settings and NGOs including; crisis lines, diversity and inclusion events, and social justice and service research. My work in research has included various topics like Trauma Informed education practices, the effects of COVID and isolation on social well-being, gender-neutral bathrooms, language and cultural diversity, etc.
I want to be your VP of Equity because I am ready to take my work experiences, my research knowledge, and the needs of students into action alongside my slate and apply changes to TMSU. Current student needs that I plan to work on with my slate if elected include; creating more equitable and safe spaces for students, increasing student discounts and access to student services/needs, and ensuring a more efficient TMSU.

Dear TMU Students and Faculty,
My name is Hafsa Iqbal, and I am honoured to present myself as a candidate for the Vice President Equity. My experience at TMSU has stoked my enthusiasm for innovation and the transformative potential of education. I’ve used my academic knowledge in real-world situations. I think a key factor in determining how students experience a school is competent leadership. If elected, I will foster an atmosphere that values cooperation, innovation, and academic success. A platform for practical projects is part of my aim to prepare students for the ever-changing work context.

Patricia, here! I am thrilled to once again announce my candidacy for Vice-President Equity.
I have unfinished business with the TMSU. I am eager to pick back up where we left off. If you recall, I was elected in last December’s by-election. You may have caught glimpses of my face and posters around campus last fall. I spent the last few months at TMSU learning the ins and outs of our students’ union, while balancing my engineering coursework and my sustainability initiative @revivemrkt. It has been a whirlwind experience, but a journey that I loved every second of. Every moment preparing me thoroughly for the role of Vice-President Equity.
During this short period, my team and I embarked on numerous projects, many of which are yet to be publicly announced. Now, we are back again to see them follow through. My vision is clear: to champion initiatives that prioritize student well-being hand-in-hand with academic success. I am interested in advocating for the creation / renovation of more inclusive and equitable spaces at TMU, tailored to specific religious groups, racial groups, and gender identity groups. Additionally, advocating for policies and programs that advance sustainability and reduce our collective environmental impact on campus.
Voting will commence soon, so keep an eye out for my team, Students Leading Change (SLC). We are all geared up with ambitious plans for the upcoming year and would be delighted to connect with you.
Thank you for checking out my statement. My inbox is always open for a chat.

Hello hello hello!
I am Hala Touma, a fifth and final year student of the Biomedical Sciences Co-op program and current Peer Support Lead of TMSU’s BIPOC Collective. Looking back on my educational journey, I am proud of the strides I made knowing the obstacles I faced. My successful 5 years as a co-op undergraduate, three-year involvement in the Faculty of Science frosh and current part-time worker at TMSU means I have personal experience and testimonials of freshmen and seniors alike on what resources can improve our students’ academic journeys and general university experiences.
Along with my slate Students in Action, I will collaborate with every Faculty to host educational-based events to encourage inter-Faculty collaboration and learning. From paid placements to recurrent job fairs, I am committed to giving you the TMU educational experience that you deserve with clarity on the opportunities that you can utilize to enhance your academics. With hard work and the fruitful connections I established, I got to discover the resources that helped fuel my confidence in my expertise before graduation- and I want the same for you. I want to use this position to help you feel the same pride that I do now.

Patel
Hello everyone, Thank you for checking out my candidate statement!
As a member of Team SLC, I am proud to say that we are a group of experienced leaders dedicated to creating a vibrant, equitable and accountable TMSU.
I’ve been deeply involved in developing campus life, serving in roles like:
Undergraduate Student Representative – Senate
Software Developer – SEAPAX
Undergraduate Student Representative – Academic Plan Advisory Group
My hope for the TMSU is simple: to advocate for better school-life balance and job opportunities.
I am interested in achieving this goal in the following ways:
Fall Engineering Reading Week
Credit/No Credit Grading Option
Advocate TMU to expand financial support to students (International, Out-of-Province & In-Province).
Advocate TMU to invest support to the Career and Co-Op center.
The work required to achieve these successes will be monumental.
The organization’s structure is largely ineffective and facilitates a toxic work environment. This structure was implemented by the 2020-21 Executive Team, who have multiple executives tied to numerous financial mismanagement scandals.
Additionally, most of the frontline staff are negligent at their jobs, being more interested in instigating burnout against executives and management staff. Many were hired by the 2021-22 Executive Team, who are being sued by the TMSU for financial mismanagement.
Simply put, it is not possible for the TMSU to serve students while our frontline staff are able to: show up late, leave early, take long lunch, and bog down management with little consequences.
I think it’s time for a change! One that brings the TMSU back to students, and away from a small group of non-students. Luckily for you, our amazing team is dedicated to right the wrongs of the past!

Jason
Ramsay
Jason
Ramsay
I’m Jason B. Ramsay, currently serving as your Faculty of Arts Director at TMSU, and I’m running for re-election. Through the leading of 80+ students, Co-Founding of 2 groups, and serving as an executive of 2 others, my candidacy stands on a foundation of action and results.
My Founding of Investa Insights, TMU’s first intercollegiate investment group where we have represented TMU and won finance competitions on the national stage, most notably demonstrates my dedication to expanding opportunities for our students beyond the classroom. Furthermore, as the past President of IECON, the Economics Course Union at TMU, I have promoted financial & economic literacy and practical skills among our peers. I also founded Nodalli, a project that guarantees students do more coffee chats.
My professional stints at CIBC and TD were pivotal, exposing me to the high stakes of corporate and investment banking. It was during these Co-Op terms that I recognized that work experience is a cornerstone of learning that is often undervalued in university settings. This realization ignited my commitment to advocate for a curriculum that prioritizes Co-Op placements, ensuring that every student gains the indispensable experience that I was fortunate to receive.
Seeking re-election as Faculty of Arts Director, I am committed to continuing my mission to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, fostering a generation of Arts graduates who are as adept in the classroom as they are in the workplace. With immersive experiences, industry partnerships, and a curriculum designed for the current job market, we can ensure that an Arts degree from TMU is synonymous with readiness and relevance.
A vote for Jason is a vote for continued progress, enhanced employability, and a future where the Faculty of Arts at TMU is distinguished not just for producing graduates, but for shaping innovators and industry leaders ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

My name is Josh Klomp and I am running for one of the Faculty of Arts Director positions at the TMSU.
A bit about my student leadership experience is that I am also the Program Director for International Economics and Finance at SASSH and I have had the chance to represent my program, as the President of our International Economics and Finance Course Union. I am also the Co-Founder of Investa Insights TMU, Canada’s largest intercollegiate investment group.
Throughout my experience in representing my program, as the SASSH IEF Program Director and the President of my Program Course Union I have been able to foster communication with students across the faculty of arts, with collaborations across various programs such as, English, History, Philosophy, Criminology, and many more!
My goal in running for the Faculty of Arts Director at the TMSU this year is to continue to represent the best interests of Students in the Faculty of Arts at a larger scale and make a difference in the lives of students across programs.
I have had the chance throughout my professional Co-op work experience in Banking and Real Estate to understand how fundamental Co-op work experience is for students who are looking to both develop their own skills as well as stand out to future employers.
That is why alongside my close friend Jason Ramsay we have developed a plan to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application for Faculty of Arts students. With our focus in representing Arts students at the TMSU being added incentives and funding towards an effective and competitive Co-op Center for Faculty of Arts students across programs and industries. That will allow for more immersive experiences, industry partnerships, and a curriculum designed for the ever competitive job market.
A vote for Josh is a vote towards change and progress in the Faculty of Arts!
