International Students' Representative

Represented international students on the Dalhousie Student Union, advocating for broader policy improvements.

What I Did

I served as a voice for international students at the student union level. I focused on systemic issues. I raised concerns about tuition hikes, safety on campus, and the need for greater inclusivity in university policies. I brainstormed with other representatives to bring an international perspective to broader campus discussions.

Impact

My advocacy ensured that the unique challenges of international students were considered in union decisions. raising awareness about financial and safety concerns helped keep these issues on the union's agenda.

What I Learned

I learned how to advocate for a large and diverse group by focusing on shared systemic challenges rather than individual grievances. The role taught me to navigate student politics and to articulate the needs of an underrepresented group to the broader student government.

Key Highlights

• Advocated for international student issues with university administration to promote positive changes.

• Coordinated and promoted events to support international and exchange students, fostering inclusivity.

• Served as a communication bridge between international students and the university, addressing concerns effectively.
