    Danielle Sandhu

    Position: 2011-2012 President
    Phone Number: 416-978-4911 ext. 223
    Hello and welcome (back) to UofT! If someone had told me in my first year that I - a commuter student working to pay for school and taking a full courseload - would someday be President of our Students’ Union, I would never have believed them. Getting involved in our Union has changed my university experience. As students working together we can build a community and make a difference in the challenges that face us. I hope that each of you will have a chance to get involved and be an active part of the student movement too. It’s an honour for me to be your president this year and I wish you all well. Here’s to an amazing year ahead!
    Danielle

    Corey Scott

    Position: 2011-2012 Vice President Internal and Services
    Phone Number: 416-978-4911 ext. 240
    Hi there! My name is Corey and I’m proud to be your VP Internal & Services. Over the years students united at UofT and across the country have fought for many cost-saving services on campus, provincially, and nationally. Here at U.T.S.U. we want to save you money and continue to fight for the resources you need. Make sure you learn the details of our affordable and vast Health & Dental Plan, come pick up your free International Student Identification Card, and don’t forget the Post-Secondary Student Metropass that students have fought for and continue to defend. Make sure to check out all of our great services and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have ideas for new services that U.T.S.U. can offer.
     
    If you have any questions or inquiries regarding the finances of the Students' Union, please feel free to contact me.
     
    In solidarity,
    Corey

    Position: 2011-2012 Vice President University Affairs
    Phone Number: 416-978-4911 ext. 230
    Hey there! My name is Clara and I am delighted to serve as your VP University Affairs. At UofT, we are here not only to receive a quality education, but to enrich our personal experiences by getting involved outside of the classroom. This year I am dedicated to working with you to advocate on your behalf, and to ensure that our education is accessible and affordable. By working together across colleges, professional faculties, course unions and student groups, we can increase student representation and build strong working relationships with the University administration to ensure that our needs are met. It takes all of us to make our university experience the very best it can possibly be. Come get involved with your Students’ Union and have your voice heard!
    Cheers,
    Clara

    Lena Elamin

    Position: 2011-2012 Vice President Equity
    Phone Number: 416-978-4911 ext. 237
    Hello! I’m Lena, your VP Equity. Welcome to a new year at UofT! Addressing oppression and inequality is an important component of our collective struggle for accessible post-secondary education. We have an  incredibly diverse membership and I invite you to join with me to strive for justice and accessibility by taking a stand against racism, sexism, and all forms of discrimination. If you have an issue that’s affecting you, then you are not alone. I am here to unite all students in our common struggle for an equitable society.             
    Peace&Love,
    Lena

    Shaun Shepherd

    Position: 2011-2012 Vice President External
    Phone Number: 416-978-4911 ext. 233
    To all the new students, welcome to UofT! And to all current students, I’d like to welcome you back for another amazing year. I hope you take the time to read through this handbook and familiarize yourself with YOUR Students’ Union. After all, we are committed to working tirelessly to ensure that your interests are understood by decision-makers off-campus. As your VP External, I will ensure that your voice is heard at the municipal, provincial and federal levels of government. With a provincial election in October, our collective student voice needs to be strongly unified on issues of rising tuition fees, public underfunding of post-secondary institutions and OSAP reform. United we can take action and let Queen’s Park know that we are not apathetic students but engaged voters.
    In Solidarity,
    Shaun

    Hello everyone at the University of Toronto! My name is Albi, and I will be your Vice-President Campus Life for the 2011-2012 school year. We are constantly expanding our services to clubs, events, and campaigns to better serve our members – all of you. UofT is your home away from home, and together we are making sure it is an inclusive community. I encourage everyone to get involved with the Campus Life Commission and help organise fantastic and diverse events throughout the year. Be sure to check out some of the 400 student clubs on campus who do amazing work to promote a meshed community for all. I’m really excited to see you all this year, and be sure to say ‘HI!’ when you see me around as well! Enjoy the year and remember, U.T.S.U.’s got you!
