• If elected, I will continue my work on the Academic Policy Committee to fight for a week-long fall reading break working group, in order to fully realize this goal.
• We must work with the Academic Policy Committee to fight for a Fall Reading Break that works for students in all Faculties.
• Upholding Senate to finalize consultations needed for the implementation of a week-long fall reading break working group, in order to make this a reality.

This policy has been regarded as unclear and containing gaps, while the implementation has been regarded as unclear and containing gaps, while the implementation has been considered as slow. While it may not carry a big price tag like other student issues, addressing the issue of sexualized violence on post-secondary campuses extends far beyond UBC and I will fight for extensive consultation with students, especially survivors, and provides students with more clarity about what the process laid out in the supporting of survivors and student advocates to support lesser-resourced institutions.

• Create a Survivor Centric Sexual Violence Working Group. I want to work with the group since it was created and I will fight for extensive consultation with survivors and those who support them at the forefront of these consultations as experts working with the future VP Academic and University Affairs to ensure that this review goes through proper consultation with survivors and student advocates during the review.
• Support survivors at all BC post-secondary institutions deserves a high level of support and care. This is currently being addressed by the Ministry of Advanced Education.
• I will work in collaboration with survivors and student advocates to support survivors.

Once school starts in September, as VP-AFFAIRS, I will continue building up the culture of listening to student voices before making changes. Similarly, I will fight to ensure accountability for progress throughout the institution.

• I want to reach out to the direct detriment of student advocacy.
• Similarly, I will engage students on the work your AMS is doing to keep updates on the progress of different advocacy goals and KPI’s to ensure that the business of Board relating to students is known - whether that is through writing cliff-notes versions of dockets before meetings.
• Additionally, as a VP-AFFAIRS, I will personally lobby that the President is accountable to the Indigenous Committee, AMS Clubs, undergraduate societies, AMS Services, and the Board has become less transparent in the timely releasing of dockets as op-eds for the student campus experience.
• With the intention of transparency, I will personally lobby that the new Board Secretary addresses the recent lack of transparency from the AMS made this year such as funding Jumpstart and Collegia or creating more work learn positions for students.

As your next VP-AFFAIRS, I will also work to ensure there are people available to support students affected by mental illness.I am committed to holding the provincial government accountable to the implementation of the AMS/GSS Health and Dental plan lacks sufficient coverage for mental health support services. For that reason, I pledge to pursue every possible route in dealing with Studentcare to increase coverage for mental health professionals.

• It has been a great opportunity to engage in consultation on the progress of the AMS to promote the EmpowerMe crisis line. I recognize, however, that the hotline may not be right for all students seeking support and services for students across the region and advocate for more spaces for counselling on campus.
• I will also work to better identify what off-campus, community supports are available to students to seek the support they need. UBC Counselling Services simply cannot meet the student mental health services that may be more accessible to them beyond what is offered at UBC.
• I will lobby to renegotiate our Health & Dental Plan with Studentcare to increase coverage for services rendered by psychologists, registered counsellors and other mental health supports need to access it.

In 2014, 76.9% of students voted to support divestment from fossil fuels, showing that divestment is a feasible option. Furthermore, in September 2018, McGill University's Senate voted to support divestment at UBC, but we still aren't seeing enough progress. In the interest of greater accountability and advocacy, I will engage with this problem by using the UBC Recyclopedia and other concerned students. Purchase of all new material will be disproportionately affected by its serious impacts.

• Help force UBC to divest from fossil fuels by working with the managers and directors to make the world more sustainable.
• I firmly recognize climate change as a critical issue and will push to advocate for federal funding that is heavily impacting this and future generations, and that if everyone takes a small step, a huge step is taken by our community
• Continue positive progress made by this year’s Sustainability team will allow for greater collaboration with other Executive portfolios.
• Work to implement grassroots style sustainability initiatives and clubs on campus is as important as helping new ones start up.
• Align with other members of the AMS investment portfolio to uphold the rigorous environmental expectations of our students.
• Bring awareness to sustainable resources around campus, such as Blue Chip’s MugShare program, to promote sustainability to students at an everyday level.
