Fostering a Vibrant Student Life through Large-Scale Campus Events

As I entered into the role of Vice President (Student Life) I focused on a mandate of building as vibrant, inclusive and as engaging a campus as possible. Rather than allow expectations of prior years' programming to pre-determine my own activities, I began with a blank slate to strive to create offerings suited to the current realities of the ever-changing student population. 

The result was significant changes to the traditional Orientation Week structure, as well as the introduction of a variety of new initiatives including the initiation and coordination of TEDx Nova Scotia/ TEDx Halifax events at Dalhousie University

This role also required me to steward the planning of large-scale events associated with annual events such as Dalhousie's Homecoming, Daloween, Winter 'Frost' Week, and many additional events. It also entailed a supporting role in a variety of Executive projects, including strengthening collaboration with international students association, and supporting revamping of the DSU Food services operation and sustainability offices.
