I am a first year political science student who is passionate about social justice.

My name is Bill de Frias, and I'm a third year BBA - Accounting Major student at Camosun. I work in the finance industry as a business development manager, advising financial planners and developing accounting software. I am currently serving Camosun students as the Interurban Director, and I wish to continue building on our student society's success as Financial Executive.



As your Financial Executive for 2011-2012, I will:

· Lobby to lower student loan interest rate.

· Create partnerships with local businesses to provide more student discounts. Discussions have already begun for fair student cellphone plans to be made available to you.

· Budget more scholarship funds for students.

· Create the infrastructure to further establish our student clubs.

· Work with Camosun to better Camlink.

· Increase awareness of the many free services and financial aid that is already available to you.

· Provide clear, accessible, and accountable information on how the student society is spending its budget.

My name is Chantal and since Nov 15^th 2010 I have had the opportunity to take on the role as Camosun’s Women’s Director. This experience has been invaluable. I have had the pleasure of working collaboratively alongside CCSS staff, board members, and the women of Camosun. I have made advocacy for the Women’s Center and the struggle to keep safe space for Women my long term goal. I will continue to reach out to women on and off campus to promote awareness about and support for, women’s issues. It is my job to represent the Women here at Camosun and in doing so I seek to hear your voices and advocate as best I can.

In the past four and a half months, I have helped to create and hold special events pertaining to women’s issues, and have held Women’s Collective meetings monthly to ensure our voices are heard and that we are moving forward collectively. To continue with our effort to hear women’s voices I would like to invite inspirational women to contribute to the Center’s educational seminars and arts and fundraising special events. Lastly, I invite all women to experience the Camoson College Women’s Centre.

I am a full-time student at Camosun College Lansdowne Campus. My Cultural background is Tseshaht, Nuuchahnulth Nation and Standing Buffalo, Dakota Nation. My goal is to see more First Nation students involved at Camosun College. Not only do I want to see First Nation Students involved within the school but within the community as well. I want to be another relatable resource of information for community and educational opportunities. I am a young regular sociable student who has goals, beliefs and values that I will bring forth as a First Nation Director. I want to see myself as well as other First Nation students involved at Camosun College throughout the year.

International students would benefit from my passion for creating fun peer connections and providing opportunities to share our cultural diversity with all Camosun students. I'm eager to apply my experience in coordinating a variety of successful social events that reflect my enthusiasm for athletics, travel, and culture to our future goals.

 

In addition, I am confident that I have the ability to become a reliable and productive resource for all international students. As CCSS's International Director, I will be able to accurately represent and promote the interests of international students within our student society. I'm looking forward to working together to take advantage of our potential and ensuring that any future endeavors are absolutely successful.

 

Thank-you for your support. You won't be disappointed! ~Jessica J. Hargrove

My name is Richard Kao and I am 2^nd year Environmental Technology students in Camosun College. For the past year I have been working closely with Physical Resources to finalize a compost program. This new program will be combining with the pre-existing Green Cone project to provide compost in every hallway and buildings. This is a not only important but essential program because in 2013 CRD will ban all organic waste from filling up our Hartland Landfill. With this program, we will be the first campus in BC that has this type of compost program. I want to be your Sustainability Director in coming year to complete more sustainable programs!

As your Sustainability Director for 2011-12, I will:

• Continue to provide once a week bread drive on Thursday morning

• Complete compost program and extend it to both Campuses

• Work on water bottle refilling and student food processing stations

• Provide useful, informational Sustainability Day

• Plant sales

• Clothing swap

• Raise awareness on our recycling and move to waste free campus
