Alana Krahn is the Vice President of Operations and Finance of the University of Alberta Students’ Union. She is in her fifth year, majoring in Business Law and Economics, and minoring in Sociology. Throughout her time at the U of A and her co-op work experiences, Alana has conducted a range of academic and market research. She is keenly interested in the intersections of social and economic topics.

Alana was an active member of General Faculties Council last year, which led her to realize the extreme value of student voices in University governance. During this term on the Students’ Union executive team, Alana is excited to oversee the Students’ Union’s budget, as well as the operations of the SU’s businesses and services. She is committed to prioritizing sustainability and student wellness and mental health in her work at the Students’ Union.
