Hi! I’m Thea, and I’m running to be your Representative for the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

As a fourth-year Law, Justice & Society Honours student, I’ve developed strong organizational and leadership skills through balancing academics, employment, and volunteer work. I’m deeply passionate about the Faculty and committed to ensuring students’ voices are heard, valued, and acted upon.

As Vice-Chair of the Dalhousie Gazette Board of Directors, I helped rebuild the executive team from the ground up, leading hiring processes and advising on policy to foster collaboration within the Dal community. I also serve as the Fourth-Year Representative for the Undergraduate Law Society, where I work to increase student engagement and promote inclusive programming.

Beyond campus governance, I volunteer with children and young adults with disabilities through the program, Because Everyone’s Ability Matters. Through my involvement with the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia, I’ve supported the integration of newcomers into their communities.

Collectively, these experiences have deepened my understanding of accessibility and reinforced my ability to communicate clearly, listen actively, and support individuals from diverse backgrounds.

I know that good representation means transparency, accountability, and approachability. As your representative, I will strengthen the connection between FASS students and the DSU by expanding academic support, creating more career development opportunities, and amplifying student voices in university policy. I will ensure students are informed, supported, and empowered to create change.

Your Faculty. Your Voice. Your Choice.

Vote Thea Crawford for the representation you deserve.

I love vintage clothing and thrifting

Hi, I'm Brooke Wandler and I am running to be your next Representative for the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences because I believe that our university and campus thrives when our students feel heard, supported, and connected.
I worked as a live-in Community Assistant with Residence Life for two years, where I supported countless students through navigating the start of their university careers. This role taught me the importance of empathy, advocacy, and communication -- values I'll bring to representing FASS students at the DSU.
Outside of residence, I am a active participator in all different aspects of university life including being a recurring donor with the on-campus blood drive and a proud member of Dalhousie's Give Blood Society. I was also an active advocate during the recent faculty lockout, fighting for the fair treatment and support of the student population. My work in the DSU would be a continuance of advocacy for improvement of the student condition.
If elected, I want to strengthen the connection between FASS students and the DSU by advocating for greater mental health support, accessible academic resources, and for more inclusive community spaces. I'll ensure your concerns, from classroom experiences to campus culture, are represented with care and integrity.
Together, we can build a campus where creativity, compassion, and community guide every decisions. The core of Dalhousie is its students and I want to make sure it stays that way. Let's make the FASS stronger, kinder, and more connected. Vote Brooke for FASS Rep!

I am a frequent performer at an open-mic downtown, where I sing and play my guitar. My musical expertise extends to also playing the piano and ukulele and, when I was in elementary school, the tenor saxophone.

My name is Davin, a 2L here in Weldon, and I’m running to be your next Faculty of Law Representative.

I currently serve as the VP External of the Law Students' Society. I was elected to that role upon a promise to improve the LSS's outreach to external organizations like the DSU. I am running now to deliver on that promise.

My years of experience in student unions, especially with the DSU, have equipped me with the tools we will need to bring DSU funding, services, and support back to Weldon. I have worked to improve the law and even undergraduate student experience, as first-year executive for the LSS, a Judicial Board member on the DSU, and most recently as DSU Faculty of Law representative and member of the Board of Operations .

I plan to continue fighting for law students to be involved within, and benefit from, the better administration of the DSU. If elected as Faculty of Law representative, I will introduce reforms to the DSU’s bylaws and operational procedures that keep the organization responsive to students and respectful of the autonomy of professional faculties like Law, Dentistry, and Medicine.

This role calls for someone with the experience to advocate effectively, and the humility to remember who the DSU advocates for. I believe I am that candidate.

I can run a forty-minute mile

I am an experienced organizer and representative. I was the organizer behind DalLockedOut, I am a community notetaker at Weldon, I am a DOMUS regular, a Law Library Committee Member, and an avid volunteer. I have been listening to student voices and pushing for actions on student concerns since arriving in Halifax. In this position I will work on increasing financial aid for law students under a. 6.11 of the by-laws, re-implementing or finding a reasonable replacement to the note-taker program which is being discontinued, and pushing Dal to take a more active role in reducing the cost of living for students by following through on residence commitments, increasing the budget for on-campus food services, and representing it's students' interests in political spaces. I also pledge to continue to listen and reshape my priorities in accordance with what law students share with me.

I am a pretty good seamstress and make about half of my clothes.
