Student Representative to the Board of Governors. During

my first year at Humber, 1999.

I was a volunteer with HSF enabling me to work behind the scenes during campus events. My position the following year was an HSF Director and a committee member of the Information Technology Steering Committee of Humber. These positions allowed me to understand how our college works. The HSF Executive commemorated my work during the 2000-2001 year with an award. The

current position I am running

for is Student Representative to the Board of Governors. This board has been established to ensure that the schools'

mission statement is adhered to.

I want to work with the Board of Governors for 3 main

reasons. First, to enhance the technological services available

to teachers and students at this College. Second, make the Humber website more user friendly and increase the use of

digital technology in the classroom. Third, ensure adequate professional

development for the current faculty. All Humber students can vote Wednesday October
