RIDLEY, Marjorie
Hello! My name is Marjorie Ridley, and I am running to represent the School of Building Technology on the Student Administration Council. This is my first year at Fanshawe College, and I would love to be involved with the Fanshawe Student Union, to voice any opinions and concerns from the students. Throughout high school I was part of Student Council, helping to plan many major events including orientation, fundraisers, semi-formal and prom, as well as a large portion of the advertising. I’m outgoing, have a good sense of creative and a bit nerdy... If I am elected, you can approach me at any time with any questions, concerns or messages to the council. I would love to help YOU!

Tourism and Hospitality

RAWLINGS, Jenny
Hi there. My name is Jenny Rawlins and I’m campaigning to be Fanshawe’s new Tourism and Hospitality division rep. Before I get into all the reasons of why you should elect me, I figured you might want to know some stuff about me. First of all, I’m a first year student at Fanshawe, in the Culinary Apprenticeship program, or (CLM7). I went to “Sir Frederick Banting Secondary School” and I’ve lived in London all my life (woo). If you’ve ever seen me in the halls, the first thing you’ll notice is my height. 5'2 and a half, to be exact. As far as hobbies go, I was on my high school Rugby team for two years. I also play acoustic guitar and I sing. The main reason I’m running to be the division rep is simple. I want to get involved. All through high school, I didn’t do much. I wasn’t in many clubs, not on many sports teams and I wasn’t on student council. I regret that. I told myself that college is going to be different and I’m determined to make sure it is. I’m here to listen to you guys. The students. I want you to feel like you can come up and talk to me if you’re having issues and I’ll do my very best to help you out. After all, we are all in the same boat and my main goal is just to make it better for everyone. Thank you for your consideration.

Human Services

BROOK, Jessica
Hello, my name is Jessica Brook and I’m running for Human Services division representative. I am very outgoing and love to laugh. You will find me at every school function and probably around residence too. I love to get to know people, I am not shy. I curl and play piano, and I’m always open to trying new things. I love to watch football, especially the New York Giants! I am currently taking Early Childhood Education first year. I’m from a little town called Harrow Ontario. Which is basically as south as you can get in our province. I do have my opinions on certain topics, and you will find that I’m a very sarcastic person. But when I put my mind to something, I will fight as hard as I can in order to achieve that goal. If you have any concerns feel free to come to me. And don’t forget, duck the rest. Vote for Jess!

Matthew has brought a wealth of different ideas from a different country and also his sporting knowledge gives him a great advantage at promoting and helping the general public of Fanshawe College enjoy the facilities and events that are held on a weekly basis by the FSU and athletics department.

WADE, Sarah
Hey Fanshawe!

My name is Sarah Wade and I am very excited to be running for the VP of Athletics and Residence Life position for 2012-2013. I am from a small northern Ontario town called Kapuskasing. I choose to attend Fanshawe College for their excellent hands on learning programs, beautiful campus, and great location in southern Ontario. I am proud to say that I am currently enrolled in my third year at Fanshawe College. I have just begun the Business Marketing program offered here and I am looking forward to this year. I have always had a passion for music; I am a singer songwriter as well as a guitar player. My influences range from Alanis Morissette to The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Some random facts about me are that I am bilingual in French and English, I have a typed out Bucket List, and I am afraid of crossing roads. One of my greatest accomplishments was organizing and performing for a Hope for Haiti Relief concert at my high school. I have always enjoyed leading an active lifestyle whether it is through adventuring in the great outdoors, hitting up the gym, or playing sports. Therefore, hearing about this FSU position caught my attention. I have only heard great things about Fanshawe College's varsity sport teams throughout my years here. I am very interested in learning more about Fanshawe's Athletic Department and becoming more involved with the college.

Your hopeful VP of Athletics and Residence Life, Sarah Wade

ZOMAYA, Julie
"It's okay to be afraid, but don't let the fear keep you from doing what you're meant to do (The Cutting Edge 3)." This is what life is about; seeking the opportunity to show others what you stand for by making a positive difference, and taking it.

I'm a first year student, enrolled in the Law Clerk program. Being given this opportunity to join the team, even as a shy student with the "freshman year" worries and nervousness, I felt the urge to strive for it.

My peers usually would describe me as someone who is very outgoing, friendly and a natural leader. I have done various leadership-like activities throughout my life. I was a counselor at the YMCA day camp and volunteered for LUSO Community Services. I also went from working as a student secretary, to being the student crossing guard. Even taking part in a program called Girls LEAD at Brescia.

Being a professional figure skater and a swimmer, I feel as though I have an advantage to better understand the necessities of the various athletic activities offered here. With regards to the students living in residence, it is also important that they have a chance to give their input on ways we can advance the housing opportunities and make living in residence greater than it already is.

I appreciate the chance to let students take on a position such as this, to represent and speak for the students of this educational facility and I hope I have expressed the qualities of a potential member of the student union here at Fanshawe
