Candidates

Students' Council (1 seats available)

Muneeba Qadir

My name is Muneeba Qadir, and my pronouns are she/her. I am a second-year education student, and I am running to be an education councillor in the Students' Council and the General Faculties Council. I'm involved in various activities outside of university such as volunteering at a local women's and seniors' centre, and also working with kids as an instructor at a math learning centre. One of the things I would be working towards is trying to expand the Zero Textbook Cost program such that it includes more education courses, so education students have increased accessibility to the resources they need. Since practicums are where we gain a first-hand teaching experience in our degree, I will also be working towards providing

more information and workshops about teaching experiences before we send our pre- service teachers out to do their practicums. As a councillor, I aim to work with the

Education Students’ Association to form connections with my fellow peers so they can voice their concerns to me. I believe that my experience working with others has allowed me to gain skills that will be beneficial in interacting with our faculty as a councillor and being able to represent us and our needs. Engaging with other education students is my main priority, and communicating and listening is key in accomplishing my goals if elected.
