About Me

Hi MacSci!! My name is Ava and I am so excited to be returning to the MSS this year as the VP Student Affairs. This is my third year on MSS, and I am so excited to plan some amazing events for you all this year! You will most likely find me at Thode studying away, at Paisley's getting a strawberry matcha, or in Hamilton Hall studying with my friends! My priorities this year include introducing year-round Sciclone events, hosting event planning workshops to develop students skills in event planning/integrating EDI values, and optimizing event feedback for future success. I am looking forward to working with my team to bring you all a revamped version of the events you know and love. I can't wait to see you at our events this year!

Goals

1. Host events to help first years with their transition to university and to ensure student wellness/opportunities to make friends post-welcome week.

2. Optimize the student feedback process after each event to ensure the success of events to come.

3. Ensure the implementation and awareness of EDI & accessibility practices in the event planning process.

Projects

1. Host workshops aimed at guiding students in integrating EDI principles and accessibility into their event planning process, providing them with valuable skills for future positions.

2. Bring Sciclones into the Student Affairs portfolio to ensure the wellness of first year students and their integration into the MacSci community.

3. Introduce sub-society science socials in the newly renovated lounge.
