Information for Voters
Why Should I Vote?
Your vote shapes your campus experience now and in the future. Here’s why you should care:
- The USC is your Student Experience: It’s entrenched in your experience at Western, through the bagel you order at The Spoke, the club you sign up for, and the concert you attend in Mustang Lounge. Have a say in how the organization supports you.
- Speak Up for What You Care About: Whether it’s more events, better health support, or lower tuition, voting is how you make your priorities known to your student representatives
- Decide Who Runs the Show: The people you elect will make big decisions about your student life—so why not make sure they align with what you want?
- Create Real Change: Want things to get better? Voting puts the right people in charge to make it happen.
- Representation Matters: Student leaders have access to decision-makers and spaces most students don’t. By electing them, you’re choosing someone who understands your experiences to represent your voice and interests in those rooms.
- Show Up for Your Community: One voice can make a difference but it’s not enough. A strong turnout means your voice can’t be ignored.
This is your campus, your experience, your vote. Don’t miss out!

USC President 1 position
My name is Steve Xia, and I am a 4th year nursing student.
I’ve been connected to this Western community for as long as I can remember. Growing up in London, Western isn’t just where I study. This community has shaped who I am, and I will continue to be here long after I graduate.
Over the years, I’ve been deeply involved as a three-time soph, a two-time faculty president, and countless other volunteer opportunities.
But more than titles, what stays with me are the people. I’ve met some of the most hardworking, compassionate, and empathetic individuals at Western, and they inspire me to give back.
In nursing, we talk a lot about the social determinants of health. Everyday invisible factors that shape our access and understanding to health. As one of the first ever frontline healthcare workers running for USC President, I’ve seen firsthand how social inequities harm people, as our systems fails to incorporate diverse needs.
That’s why the USC matters.
Because student government doesn’t just affect policy.
It affects students’ physical, mental, emotional, and social health.
Join me as we build a more equitable, inclusive, and healthier campus for everyone.
President
Saja Dahabiyeh
I’m running for USC President because my university experience has been shaped by challenges many students quietly live with. During my time at Western, I developed a chronic health condition that changed how I move through university day to day. Managing classes, deadlines, and expectations while also managing my health has been overwhelming at times, especially when accessibility systems weren’t as flexible or supportive as they needed to be. I’ve faced food insecurity and financial stress, which made everything harder. There were moments when I had to choose between essentials, and times when asking for help felt intimidating or unclear. Those experiences showed me how easily students can fall through the cracks when support systems don’t reflect real student realities. I’m running not just because of my own experiences, but because I know I’m not alone. Many students are balancing chronic illness, financial pressure, and accessibility barriers in silence. As USC President, I want to push for stronger food support, clearer and more transparent financial resources, and accessibility services that respond quickly and compassionately. My goal is to help build a campus where students feel supported, understood, and able to succeed, even when life throws challenges.
President
Mia Cameron
I want to run for USC President because I feel as though my success at Western was a coincidence. I think we have an amazing organization with an extensive list of resources and opportunities, but that our students don’t truly know how to make the most of their undergraduate experience. I also feel as though as a community, Western has been suffering. We need to extend relationships between student groups and campus culture. Additionally, I feel as though in recent years student governance has felt separated from the general student body, I’ll be referencing the ‘USC Bubble’ a lot throughout campaign season, and that’s simply to refer to the larger group of students that feels like they can’t get involved, or don’t know enough to get involved. I want to help create a Western that supports all of our students in whatever endeavour they wish to pursue, no matter their resume or experience.
President
Hunter Schulz
When Western calls, I answer, and I’m running for USC president to contribute to the prosperous future of the students who attend this wonderful university we call Western. The only way to ensure that one’s harvest remains bountiful, is to set up the correct systems and initiatives in place during the present. That way students can realize the fruits of their labour post graduation and look favourably upon their time at this academic institution. My second reason is to get the Western population more involved politically. I strongly believe that there is great room for improvement regarding voter turnout, and political literacy. I remain confident that my platform and campaign can help augment this and maximize the student voice and subsequent USC benefits to students. Together, with my help from both the USC team, and the students who support me, I think we can maximize all realms of student wellness and ensure Western is a school of choice for students in the future.
President
Cole Fuerth
Western has been the best experience of my life, and I want that to be true for everyone who has the chance to study here. I’m running for USC President to help build a campus where every student can afford to be here, feel like they belong, and graduate with a life, network, and sense of purpose that genuinely excites them. The community we’re building at Western is in the hands of the students who shape it every day. Like most Western students, I don’t come from a background in student politics, and that’s exactly why I’m running. There is a real gap in understanding and relatability between many USC and Council leaders and the much larger group of students they represent. My goal is to bridge that gap so that everyone, not just the loudest voices, is heard, reflected in decisions, and brought into a vision of Western and the USC that actually feels like it belongs to them.

Science 7 positions (1 President and 6 Councillor)
Kamiylah (Kami) Tynes-McKenzie
Within my years in the science student community, I’ve seen firsthand how diverse, powerful and resilient our students are. Whether striving to pursue their personal aspirations and career pathways, to being motivated to support the broader student community, our students have shown they are capable of achieving the unimaginable everyday. Therefore, students deserve a council with leadership that is present, reliable and rooted in advocating for their success. I am running for Science Student Council President because over my journey at western and in the science community, I believe that Science Student Council must strengthen its role as a reliable, student-centred resource to science students and meet the student body where they’re at within every stage of their journey. I want to directly contribute to the science student experience and provide impactful, longterm tools to empower students and help achieve their ambitions, as well as strengthen our community connection as a result. Students deserve leadership that’s transparent, shows up constantly and isn’t afraid to listen and act. This is why I am running for Science Student Council President, to build consistency that inspires community and a faculty council students can lean on today and in the years to come.
President
Dareen Abdel-Rahman
I am running because I believe that no science student should feel alone in a program that can often feel overwhelming. Science is challenging, and throughout my early university years I struggled with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Support from upper-year students especially Science Sophs played a crucial role in helping me navigate those moments and stay motivated.
As I progressed through my degree, I found my academic home in Honours Specialization in Genetics and developed a strong interest in research after learning about opportunities from upper-year students who shared their experiences. These conversations opened doors I didn’t know existed and shaped the direction of my undergraduate journey.
Because of this, I have naturally taken on mentorship roles, helping younger science students with course strategies, getting involved in labs and clubs, and managing the pressures that come with a science degree. I am running to give back the support that helped me succeed. I want to be an approachable, reliable advocate who listens, encourages, and works to ensure science students feel supported, confident, and empowered throughout their university experience.
Councillor
Sarwa Khan
I’m running for science councillor because I want to keep advocating for what science students need to thrive.
As a current science councillor, I’ve seen the power of the student voice in creating change. Having the privilege of serving on USC and the University Affairs Committee over the past few months has been a meaningful experience. I’ve been able to bring the science student perspective into every discussion to ensure that students have the resources they need to succeed. When I first came to Western, the science community helped me feel supported. I want to give that same support back and help more science students reach their full potential at Western.
My pillars are student support, inclusion, and equity. I’ll push for stronger academic support beyond the classroom, like access to career guidance and increased availability of academic advising services. I’ll advocate for opportunities that bring science students together and build community, and I’ll continue supporting EDIDA initiatives that make Western a place where everyone feels included. I’ll prioritize equity by pushing for accessibility in science and making sure international students’ unique needs are recognized and met.
Thank you for your consideration and support!

Councillor
Gabriel Osei-Tutu
My name is Gabriel Osei-Tutu, and I’m a Computer Science Student in the faculty of science at Western. I’m running for Science Faculty Councillor because student voices deserve to be heard clearly and effectively at the faculty-wide level. At Western, I have been actively involved in student leadership and advocacy wherever possible. I am currently a member of the Leadership Soph Team (LST) in residence, where I work with staff and other sophs to provide guidance and help students thrive during university. Additionally, I’m also involved in other event-based leadership roles on campus, which have sharpened my communication skills and my ability to turn feedback into action. As a Science student, I understand the challenges we face, like the heavy course loads and the academic pressure. However, the one concern I have heard and personally experienced is the difficulty in receiving prompt and clear responses from academic advising, especially around topics like course selection and program progression. I aim to advocate for more transparent communication and improved accessibility to support resources within the faculty. I’m running to listen and ensure Science students feel informed and supported. I would be honoured to represent and bring their voices to the table.
Councillor
Rayan Atique
I am running for Faculty Councillor because I want to stay involved in student governance and contribute to decisions that shape the university experience. My time on the Science Students’ Council has shown me how much work happens behind the scenes and how important it is for student perspectives to be present when those decisions are made.
Through council, I have been part of discussions on events, academic concerns, and broader student issues, and I have seen how student input can meaningfully influence outcomes when it is brought forward clearly and responsibly. That experience has made me want to take on a role where I can represent my faculty at a wider level and engage with issues that affect students beyond one council or committee.
I am running because I value thoughtful representation and want to contribute consistently, listen carefully, and take responsibility for representing students in spaces where their voices matter.
Councillor
Paleesa Kapoor
I am running again as a councillor because I have prior experience with the USC and a clear understanding of how student concerns move through the governance system. During my time on the Science Student Council, I observed that many decisions affecting students are made in meetings that most students are unaware of. This motivated me to take responsibility for bringing student concerns into those spaces in a clear and direct manner. One of the most significant challenges facing science students is access to support services. Many students are unsure where to find academic assistance, mental health resources, or financial support. As councillor, I intend to work toward improving how this information is communicated so students can access help more easily. In my role with the Gender Equity Network, students shared concerns related to safety, accessibility, and representation. This reinforced the importance of ensuring these issues are considered in leadership decisions. As Faculty Soph, I supported first year students with academic planning and campus transitions, which showed me how much clear communication matters. I am running to ensure students are informed and
Councillor
Jasmine Antonelli
My name is Jasmine Antonelli, and I am a second year Medical Sciences student running to be your Science Councillor because I care about improving the science student experience. I am passionate about advocating for my peers and ensuring student voices are taken seriously at Western.
Over the past year, I have done exactly that. As a Student Senator, I brought student concerns forward, worked on initiatives that put students first, and made myself easy to reach. A key part of that role involved listening to students, clarifying confusing policies, and helping peers navigate the university system. Outside of Senate, I have been involved in Biology, Physics, and Anatomy mentorship programs, where I supported large groups of science students through demanding coursework. These roles showed me how intense science programs can be and how much clear communication and accessible support truly matter.
I am running for Science Councillor to keep advocating for science students, to stay accessible, and to help make Science at Western a place where students feel at home.
Councillor
Feras Taleb
I’m running for Science Councillor because I genuinely care about making the science community at our school feel more supported, connected, and heard. I’m a Computer Science student, and I’ve also worked in data/software roles where I had to communicate clearly, take ownership, and turn feedback into real outcomes and I want to bring that same energy to representing science students.
Outside of school, I’m involved in youth mentorship, and I co-founded MomentumLDN, a youth-led initiative where we organize weekly 5K runs and sports activities to help people build routine, community, and a healthier lifestyle. That experience taught me how to show up consistently, organize things that actually get people engaged, and create a space where everyone feels welcome.
If elected, I want to focus on practical things that would make a difference: better peer support (study groups, exam review sessions, mentorship), more visibility for research/internship opportunities, and events that make STEM feel less intimidating and more like a community. I’ll be approachable, responsive, and I’ll follow through.
Councillor
Victoria Balogun
I would like to be a USC science student counsellor because I have a passion for advocacy, leadership, and representation. Being a science counsellor is a role I would love to take on simply because I enjoy creating policies, programs and initiatives that can help support student experiences. I’m a selfless individual who understands prioritizing the needs of others above their own; all the initiatives that I’ve taken a part in both outside and in high school have involved being a liaison between two groups. Having the opportunity to be a voice for many science students at Western would be an honour. As a first-year student, I understand the struggles and difficulties that many science students undergo. I believe that I would be a perfect representative to adequately voice and appeal to their needs. My goals in all that I do include to lead, inspire, collaborate, create change and develop interpersonal relationships with the individuals I work with and for. More of my goals also include being able to educate and learn from my peers and co-workers. I believe that this role perfectly encapsulates all my goals and passions.
Councillor
Zayan Islam
University life at Western is rewarding, but it also comes with real challenges—academic pressure, balancing labs, lectures, and life. With the time and money students invest, Science students deserve representation that is fair, transparent, and focused on what affects our day-to-day experience.
As Science Faculty Councillor, the role is to represent Science students and the Science Students’ Council (SSC) at USC’s General Council—bringing concerns forward, helping shape policy, and supporting initiatives that impact student life as a voting member on the council floor.
In my work as a National Lifeguard Instructor Trainer, Aquatic Safety Inspector & Auditor, and JHSC member, I operate in high-accountability environments overseeing hundreds to thousands of staff and students. Through these roles standards and policy must be applied consistently—and improved when they fall short. That’s the mindset I’ll bring.
My focus will be geared towards problems often encountered by students, including:
-Fair exam and lab assessment scheduling
-Transparent grading and clear expectations
-Strong course quality and accountability
-Timely, plain-language communication when policies change
I know this role is a team effort. I’ll be approachable, easy to reach, honest about what I can do, and committed to bringing your concerns to the table.
Councillor
Health Science 5 positions (1 President and 4 Councillors)
Maria El Shentnawy
I am running because my involvement with the Faculty of Health Sciences over the years has been one of the most transformative parts of my experience at Western. Through this role, I not only developed professionally, but also grew personally by gaining confidence, leadership skills, and a sense of belonging within the faculty. What began as a step outside my comfort zone became a space where I built meaningful friendships, formed lasting connections, and learned how impactful student advocacy can be.
Serving on council taught me what it means to lead with purpose, accountability, and responsiveness to student needs. I witnessed firsthand how student voices shape faculty initiatives, and this experience shifted my perspective from simply participating in student life to actively working to improve it.
I am running because I want to help create that same sense of belonging and fulfillment for every Health Sciences student. I want students to feel seen, heard, and confident in accessing the opportunities and supports available to them. By building on my experiences, I hope to strengthen advocacy, foster community, and ensure that students feel empowered throughout their academic journey.

Hello Western! My name is Adam Zabian, and I am running to be your next Kinesiology USC Councillor for the 26-27 school year! It’s important that we as a community have our voices, opinions, and concerns heard at every level. I say this because, as someone finishing up their first-year of university, I’ve seen firsthand just how overwhelming the experience can be. Whether it’s finding classes all over campus, forming connections with fellow peers, or accessing resources to aid in academics, the life of a student can be tough to navigate. That’s where I come in, as someone who will amplify your voices so that we can shape policies and support initiatives for kinesiology students, by kinesiology students. If elected, I’ll take a feedback-based approach so that I can highlight the ideas and challenges you have, and bring them straight to USC. I’ll also make sure to advocate for straightforward access to research and volunteer opportunities, so that you never miss the chance to support the community, develop skills related to possible career paths, and network with mentors in the field. This position is not for me, but for us, and it would be a privilege to represent you.
Kinesiology Councillor
Faris Rajab
Recognizing the unique demands of nursing and the ongoing efforts to strengthen our presence within the USC, my vision as a Nursing Councillor is to bridge the connection between nursing students and campus-wide decision-making. Nursing students balance rigorous academics, clinical placements, and often off-campus commitments, which can limit involvement in broader campus initiatives. My goal is to help close that gap by ensuring nursing students feel informed, represented, and meaningfully connected to the USC.
As an Off-Campus Soph and an Upper-Year Nursing Representative under the Faculty of Health Sciences Student Council, I have seen how engagement can be strengthened, not due to a lack of effort, but because nursing students navigate a different campus experience than many of their peers. As a Councillor, I aim to bring nursing perspectives forward at General Council, advocate for considerations that reflect academic and clinical realities, and support initiatives that make involvement more accessible to nursing students.
I am committed to strengthening existing efforts while introducing new ways for nursing students to be seen, heard, and supported within the USC. Nursing teaches us to assess, advocate, and intervene, and I’m ready to apply those skills beyond the bedside and into student governance.
Nursing Councillor
Prisha Bhavsar
Hey Health Studies!
Our Health Studies program has become a place where I’ve found connection, community, and conversation. This sense of belonging is what led me to run for councillor.
Through engaging with peers across classes, events, and shared spaces, I’ve developed an appreciation for how council, policies, and planning connect to student life. I care about contributing to conversations where student perspectives are shared and supported. Staying engaged in council discussions and learning from student input across our Health Studies community is very important to me.
Being part of a council environment that reflects the perspectives of students across our Health Studies community matters to me, as does approaching council work with respect for the different experiences students bring to the table. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be considered by our Health Studies community. Thank you! – Prisha
Heath Studies Councillor
Arvin Karimi
I am running for Health Studies Councillor because I care deeply about the health, advocacy and well-being of students in our faculty. My interest in health goes beyond academics and future career goals. I am passionate about how systems, environments and communities shape one’s ability to thrive. I believe that a student government should advocate for students’ academic success, mental health, and sense of belonging in our community. As a first-year student, I know I can bring a fresh, authentic approach to the challenges students face within our faculty. As someone who recently went through the huge transition to university, I want to share my experiences and be a strong, approachable voice for my peers. I will work to strengthen academic support in the School of Health Studies, promote wellness practices, and create an inclusive environment where everyone’s voice is heard and acknowledged. I am motivated to learn and collaborate with my peers, as this role is not about leadership, but about advocacy and responsibility to ensure that students’ experiences are supported, represented, and improved within our faculty.

Information & Media (FIMS) (1 President)
Emilia Sferrazza
Having served on the Media and Communications Studies Student Council (MACSSC) since my first year as Advocacy and External Affairs Officer and now in my third year as Vice President of Academics, I am running for President because I have seen the council’s impact from multiple perspectives and recognize both its strengths and areas for growth, particularly in student engagement and advocacy. Throughout my time on council, I have worked closely with students, faculty, and fellow executives to advocate for academic support and deliver meaningful social and academic initiatives, including contributing to the MACS Career Conference and launching our new case competition, MACS Den. These experiences have shaped my leadership style to be collaborative, student-centred, and solutions-oriented. As President, I aim to build on the strong foundation we have established by strengthening transparency and communication, fostering a stronger sense of community within FIMS, and ensuring every Media and Communication Studies student feels heard, supported, and empowered to succeed both academically and beyond the classroom.

Social Science 8 position s (1 President and 7 Councillors)
Jaliyah Henderson
As someone who has found my forever home in Social Science, I understand how important it is for students to feel supported, seen, and included. I’m running to create a council known not just for great events, but also for building real connections, providing academic support, and offering opportunities for everyone, especially students who may feel lost navigating university alone. Through my leadership in Social Science and throughout campus, I’ve learned how to plan effective programs, advocate for student needs, and bring people together in meaningful ways. As President, I want to strengthen collaboration with departmental clubs, rethink how we support academic success, and develop initiatives that make every student feel they belong here. I’m ready to lead with passion, organization, and action, and to make Social Science a place students are proud to call their own.
President
I’m running for Social Science Faculty Councillor because I care about representing Social Science students and making sure our voices are heard in academic decisions that affect us. Our faculty is diverse, and I believe student perspectives matter when it comes to curriculum, academic policy, and the overall learning experience.
Through my experiences as an Orientation Soph, Western International volunteer, and previously as a peer mentor and tutor, I’ve supported students during important transitions and challenges. These roles showed me how much clear communication, accessible policies, and supportive academic environments matter to student success.
As Faculty Councillor, I would bring a student-centred, approachable, and thoughtful perspective. I’m motivated to listen to students, raise their concerns, and engage seriously with faculty governance. I’m running because I want Social Science students to feel represented, supported, and confident that their experiences are reflected in decisions being made.
Councillor
Coming into my first year, I was completely oblivious on how my university experience was shaped. Once I found out how much the USC does for students, I realized how much I’d like to become part of it. I am running because I care about the wellbeing and experience of students. Academics, social life and professional development are just a few aspects that shape our day-to-day at Western, and I want to help make those areas feel more supported, accessible, and less overwhelming for everyone.
Social Science has supported me so much throughout my academic journey and career journey, especially at times when I didn’t know where to start or who to ask. Through that experience, I’ve also learned what works, what feels confusing, and where things could be more efficient and student-friendly. That’s why my platform focuses on Academics, Accessibility, and Accountability, clearer academic support and communication, making resources and opportunities easier to find and access, and keeping students in the loop through consistent updates, reminders, and transparent follow-through.
Councillor
Sunny Li
Student government shouldn’t feel distant, intimidating, or out of reach, and that’s why I’m running for USC Councillor. As a First Year Representative on Social Science Student Council, I’ve seen first-hand how University level decisions around policy-making, funding, and communication directly impact students’ academic and social experience. I want to use my voice and be part of the conversations that actively turn student voices into real, visible action, and support initiatives that improve students day-to-day life at Western. My passion for leadership and advocacy began in high school, where I represented over 1,200 students as Student Council President, teaching me how to listen, collaborate, and enhance student experience. I’m personable, approachable, and I truly enjoy connecting with students. Whether it’s debating the best bagel in the Spoke line, laughing with floormates in the lounge, or listening to a rant about course registration, I use those everyday moments to understand what would make our experience better. I’m running because I believe my peers deserve representation that’s proactive, approachable, and genuine, and as USC Councillor, I want Social Science students to feel heard, supported, and excited to engage with their student government.
Councillor
I’m running for Social Science Faculty Councillor because I care about our day-to-day student experience and ensuring a strong voice at the USC. While Social Science boasts the largest faculty council and incredible engagement, many advocacy concerns feel ignored. I will push the USC to advocate in favour of extending Social Science Reading Room hours, free OWeek parking for Sophs, reduced OneCard replacement fees, and free Proof of Enrolment letters. I want our faculty’s concerns heard.
I will be an accessible point of contact for academics, resources, and campus life – someone who listens, follows up, and advocates. As a third-year Urban Development student, I’ve been involved with Foot Patrol, Sophing, the Geography Peoples Society, SSSC, and multiple USC clubs. I’ve learned how to get things done. I’m running to represent you with energy, consistency, and trust. If elected, I’ll focus on better communication and stronger support to ensure Social Science students feel seen, heard, and included.
