Jonathan Hillis
1. What is your position?
VP Athletics
2. What are your responsibilities within the FSU?
To work in coordination with the Athletics department, helping out with intramurals, varsity and marketing/promoting programs to benefit the program and students. The VP of Athletics also manages the Mighty Falcon Dance Squad to ensure fundraising is done so the team can compete in its annual competition the Humber Cup.
3. How does your job enable you to make Fanshawe College better for students?
Being the VP of Athletics allows you to create and find new ways to ensure students are staying active and participating in varsity events and intramural events. Students regularly ask for new sports and other things, and being the VP of Athletics, it is your job to try and accommodate them as much as possible.
4. What has been your most rewarding accomplishment as a VP so far this year?
The VP of Athletics position has helped me gain better understanding of students and student life and what it means to give back to the community and college. The most rewarding accomplishment is hearing that students and athletes enjoy the incentive programs I have put in place to increase fans at games
5. What advice do you have for the person who will take your place on the 2008/09 council?
My advice would be to understand you make decisions on the behalf of the whole student body, don't think what's best for you, but what's best for the school. Have a plan coming and make a list of things you want to accomplish for the year, start out trying to accomplish a couple a things and not overwhelm yourself with too much but rather complete the things you have started. Utilize the people around you and the administration you work with, they have a wealth of knowledge and can help you figure out any problems you may have, and lastly keep in constant communication with your other VP's and administration you deal with.
6. Why are you the sexiest member of the Student Union?
I think I am not the sexiest member at all. I think Chris Pressey is because he has the uncanny ability to turn me on with his natural fur coat he wears under his shirt everyday.
Jason Wilton
1. What is your position?
Vice President of Internal Affairs
2. What are your responsibilities within the FSU?
I work closely with volunteer organizations to bring Fanshawe opportunities to get involved within our world. As VP Internal, I am also in charge of all clubs and awareness weeks happening around Fanshawe.
3. How does your job enable you to make Fanshawe College better for students?
I feel that the college experience needs to be more than books, and beer. I work with the FSU to educate and show students opportunities to gain experience, help out the less fortunate, and meet AWESOME people along the way.
4. What has been your most rewarding accomplishment as a VP so far this year?
I feel that every event is an accomplishment and having students come up and complement me on an event that we had run, or an Awareness Week, makes it all worth it. Also, it has been great to work hand-in-hand with an amazing team of dedicated leaders for the students.
5. What advice do you have for the person who will take your place on the 2008/09 council?
Take detailed notes while in meetings, walking the halls, or on the phone. When you are arranging an Awareness Week, it gets tough to remember key details in the conversation, especially when you have four or five calls within the time you are in your office.
6. Why are you the sexiest member of the Student Union?
On the FSU, it is hard to find a member whom hadn't grown some sort of beard, or stash... I am by far the sexiest member because I have not. Mind you, the Forgotten Pressey beard and Russell's face mat are pretty damn sexy if you ask me... Tough Competition. I wonder what they can hide in there?
Chris Pressey

I look over the expenses of the FSU. I help students with bursaries and jobs on campus. I also work with Fanshawe College to negotiate fee increases.
3. How does your job enable you to make Fanshawe College better for students?
This job is great to make the College better for students by helping them in financial difficulty. I show them where they can attain bursaries, awards and jobs. This job also makes this College better for students because I look over any tuition increase for students; we insure that these fees are here to make their learning experience the best it can be. I also make student life better by growing an amazing beard/mustache/mutton chops that all students can enjoy.
4. What has been your most rewarding accomplishment as a VP so far this year?
The most rewarding part of my year has been when I helped to create new bursaries and awards to help give students additional funding during their studies.
5. What advice do you have for the person who will take your place on the 2008/09 council?
Go out and meet as many students as possible, many students don't realize how much assistance is available until you go there and tell them about it.
6. Why are you the sexiest member of the Student Union?
I AM the sexiest FSU member because I have a beautiful fur coat that I wear 24/7. Many people would pay well over $10,000 to wear a coat so sexy.
