Hi! My name is Chelsea Bunke and I’m running to be President of the Canadian Society. After a year of online teaching and feelings of otherness in London, joining this society has made me feel more at home than I ever have as a Canadian at UCL. I have the skills and leadership ability to serve me in this role as I grew up captaining my sports teams and organized my high school’s newspaper for three years as Editor-in-Chief. Furthermore, as an immigrant raised in Calgary, I feel that I represent a holistic and integrated Canada. As President, I would:
- Hold more socials near the beginning of the year to build a bigger and brighter community of students. These introductory sessions could include a picnic near the Canada Memorial in Green Park, a pub crawl (ending at the Maple Leaf Bar, of course), or a potluck! A bigger society could also boost funding!
- Boost our social media presence and regularly post updates on events.
- Host Indigenous Canadian speakers to learn about struggles within our society.
- Ensure that the society is a safe space for Canadians and non-Canadians alike to feel supported! It can be hard being so far from home, and hopefully the Canadian Society can make it a bit easier.
I feel I have the passion to thrive in this role; hopefully I have your vote!
