My name is Zain Baig, and I am committed to finding innovative, student-focused ways to strengthen our campus and elevate the TMU student experience. I am the founder of TMU’s Literary Salon, TMU Basketball Society, and the TMSU Street Team Marketing Project—initiatives I built from the ground up by hiring executive teams, managing operations, and ensuring they serve students first.
My leadership style is rooted in Servant Leadership: I believe the role of a president is to uplift others, empower their ideas, and create an environment where every student can grow both personally and professionally.
Through my student groups, I have led impactful initiatives—including a free library in the SCC, free drop-in basketball at the MAC Varsity Court, multiple charity fundraisers, and a student-run literature and artwork publishing program.
I also bring professional experience from my Co-op at Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, where I managed over $20 million in funds with integrity and led company-wide multicultural initiatives. On campus, I have served with the Ted Rogers Students’ Society (TRSS) as a Street Team member, DECA/TRACE Marketing Associate, 2x Commerce Frosh Leader, TAP Ambassador, and was invited to host a Fireside Chat with Medcan’s Director of Digital Transformation & Innovation for the Ted Rogers Technology Prep Program.
After witnessing the past issues and corruption within the TMSU, I know things have to change. Students deserve transparency, accountability, and a union that works for them—not behind closed doors. I am running for President because I believe in restoring trust, rebuilding student engagement, and transforming the TMSU into a union that reflects the values and voices of our entire community.
This vision will be delivered through our 3 Pillars and 5-step Action Plan. Justice for the TMSU!
