Top three platform points

1. Great Hall Modernization

Using the WUSA Capital Program, Horizon will push for a full revitalization and modernization of the Great Hall and multi-purpose room. This will include brand-new furniture (the couches are older than us) and community activity items, such as pool tables and ping pong tables.

2. Securing the Pay What You Can Program (PWYC)

Currently, the PWYC program is a one-year pilot run at the Bomber. We have seen the massive benefit to students on campus with this program, the dignity of having a healthy meal. Horizon will ensure the future of funding and the existence of the program for all undergraduate students.

3. Strengthening Undergrad TA/RA Rights

Right now, graduate students on campus have their rights, and the university's responsibilities towards Teaching Assistants are enshrined in Policy 30. Horizon will push to create an undergrad equivalent. Guaranteeing the rights of undergrad Teaching Assistants, Research Assistants, and University Assistants in hiring, hours worked, dispute resolution and all other fundamental job protections.

Reason why someone should vote for you in 100 words or less

As your WUSA Director, I have helped with governance reform that created the Vice-President, Student Experience. I gave out over $400,000.00 to student groups as the Chair of the Student Life Endowment Fund. I fought the coop office to only get a 2.4% coop fee increase, compared to 10% proposed the year prior (saving you over $60 a term). As your WUSA President with Horizon, I will continue to fight for you and deliver meaningful change. From the bomber expansion or great hall modernization, to launching degree tracking software and securing the PWYC Program.
