Frosh is going to be significantly different next year. How much do you know about the changes that have been proposed or have already gone through and do you support them?

I’m worried that the change of a Frosh leader is going to have an effect on people who want to volunteer because I know a lot of students who want to be a Frosh leader see it as a time for them to party as well. But I’m worried with “orientation leader” where you now have to take students to Discover McGill, it’s going to lessen the effect that applying for a Frosh leader would have. I think that the VP internal has to stay strong in the advertisement [for Frosh leaders] and spin it in a way that will appeal to students and not let administration completely trample over Frosh.

A lot of people see VP internal as an event planner. What other aspects of the role would you focus on if elected?

I’m really intrigued by the political side. I know that the VP internal is known as being an apolitical position, but I’m a poli-sci major and eventually I want to go into politics, so I’m interested to learn the political aspect of it. Also, the communications aspect, I want to take “Get Ready McGill” to the next level for promoting SSMU events. I want to take that and hype it up to the extreme, making it a branded name, having it on Frosh cups, on tickets, so that when people see the logo, they start relating it to amazing events.

Do you have any ideas for new events next year?

I really want to have a speaker series. In high school Romeo Dallaire came and spoke to our school and that had the most profound effect on me. So I would really like to expand the variety of events that we have because it’s not all about the big epic parties, its about finding events that will reach out to all sorts of students on campus.  

If you could be one type of mixed drink, what type would you be and why?

On my grad trip to Cancun, they had these drinks called the Superman. They looked like a rocket Popsicle. I would say I would be the Superman because I could be a super hero to SSMU and help save all the events and I have different layers to me that combined make an amazing drink.
