Hi everyone — I’m Ishan Mukhida, a Bachelor of Commerce Co-op student majoring in Accounting, and I’m running to be your Faculty of Management Representative because I want students to have a stronger, clearer voice in the decisions that affect our day-to-day experience.

I’m someone who follows through. Through my co-op experience as an accounting intern in the Nova Scotia public sector, I’ve learned to communicate professionally, manage competing deadlines, and turn feedback into action — skills that directly translate into advocating for students and achieving results within a large organization.

As your FoM Rep, my priorities are simple: better communication, better student support, and practical improvements that make life easier. I will push for clearer information on program requirements and deadlines, stronger co-op and career resources, and more consistent student feedback channels so concerns don’t get lost. I also want to advocate for improvements to study spaces and student services that we rely on during busy parts of the term.

Most importantly, I’ll be accessible. You’ll know how to reach me, you’ll get timely updates, and you’ll see what I’m working on. If you want a representative who listens, responds, and delivers, I’d appreciate your vote.

My name is Ivan, and I’m a Master of Planning student in the Faculty of Architecture and Planning. I’m running for re-election as Faculty Representative to continue ensuring our students have a voice at the DSU.

Over the past few months, I’ve had the opportunity to represent our faculty and bring forward student perspectives. Serving in this role has reinforced the importance of clear communication, follow-through, and making space for voices that are sometimes underrepresented.

Planning and architecture students think critically about how people live, move, and share space, and I believe that perspective continues to be valuable within the DSU. If re-elected, I hope to build on the work already started, maintain strong connections between our faculty and the broader campus community, and continue representing our students thoughtfully and reliably.

Hi! I’m Sofia Morissette and I’m a third-year Microbiology and Immunology student and I’m running to be your Faculty of Science representative. I’m passionate about advocating for students and turning concerns into action. I believe my extensive commitment to leadership and advocacy at Dal has given me the skills to act on our council and represent my faculty.

I am currently the acting Vice-President of the Dalhousie Science Society and therefore I have experience working on council and ensuring that student voices are heard. I have worked with leaders across all departments to address issues affecting students, including academic support, student engagement and communication. As an executive in several student societies, I have gained direct experience in problem-solving and contributing valuable feedback. I believe in opening doors for all science students to pursue their passions. I have executed events such as the Science research mixer, study nights and workshops.

If elected, I will act to bridge the gap between the DSU and students by directly reporting to the DSS council and thus communicating with all departmental societies. I am especially committed to advocating for transparency in decision-making, equitable academic policies and support for students. I plan on hosting several more events to encourage science communication, research and outreach.

With my leadership experience, strong communication skills, and genuine commitment to the Faculty of Science community, I am prepared to be a reliable and effective voice. I stand for equity, diversity and inclusivity in science. Anyone can be a Scientist!
