Meet your 2014 FSU Executives

Matt Stewart FSU President

Graphic Design Advanced Diploma graduate

I oversee the Fanshawe Student Union as a whole and make sure that our vision and mission statements are being upheld by all events and services that our board and full time staff provide.

My goal for this year as FSU President is to improve the visibility of the organization, including all the events and services that we provide to Fanshawe students. Once the visibility and knowledge of these events and services has been improved it will in turn create better attendance. This improved attendance will allow the Fanshawe Student Union to understand the demographic of the students and better serve their needs and improve the events that need revamping.

On behalf of the FSU and myself, I would like to welcome you to Fanshawe College. Fanshawe is more than just an educational facility, it is a community and I urge all new students to get out and experience all that the Fanshawe community has to offer. Get involved in college life and I guarantee that your experience here at Fanshawe College will be one that you can hold onto and cherish forever. If you are looking for ways to get involved please come and find any of the FSU team or alternatively can come up to the FSU office in SC2001. I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavours here at Fanshawe College.



Taylor Lodge VP Finance

Developmental Service Worker (Fast Track) Year 1

My position is to help students with their applications for OSAP, scholarships and bursaries. I am also the go to person for subsidizing a portion of field trip costs on behalf of the FSU and approving donation requests for outside organizations.

I am hoping for this year to bring awareness to the students about the scholarships and bursaries that are available. There is a lot of money to give away and it is just sitting around so my plan is to utilize social media to get the awareness out there.

Welcome new Falcons I wish you the best year it will be a good time! Get involved and meet new people, make the best of this wonderful experience. Hope to meet you, feel free to come by for a chat.
