Thank you to anyone who participated in any events in October an keep your eyes out for more events happening in November ?
In an effort to support some of our wonderful local charities the STMSU will be hosting a Virtual Bottle Drive! Through SARCAN’s Drop & Go service anyone from across Saskatchewan can participate in this initiative safely AND easily – making it a win-win for all!
In order to donate, all participants need to do is visit their local SARCAN depot and use the group phrase “STMSU” within the Drop & Go area. It only takes a few minutes to submit recycling for donation and then participants can walk away happy knowing their small act will go on to help others!
All donations received during the month of November will go to the Saskatoon Dog Rescue: a non-profit organization run completely by volunteers. Working 24 hours a day, 365 days every year they rescue dogs experiencing neglect, abandonment, or abuse from across the province. Once rescued every dog’s mental and physical health is assessed and any concerns are quickly addressed. Each dog that passes through the hands of the Saskatoon Dog Rescue is given every piece of love imaginable in preparation for their forever home. For more information about this month’s charity please visit their site at: https://www.saskatoondogrescue.com/

Ana-Sofia Moran:
My name is Ana-Sofia Moran, I am a first year student in the College of Arts and Science and self-declared as a St. Thomas More student. I have a passion for science and I am hoping to pursue a career in pediatrics. Along with school I enjoy playing sports such as volleyball, golf, and badminton, reading, and cooking. I would love to be the first-year representative on the STMSU because of my extensive history with student leadership. I was my high schools grade representative in both grade eleven and twelve and loved giving my fellow classmates a voice on our student council as well as organizing fun events and activities for the school. I believe that I am a strong candidate for this position due to my outgoing personality, ability to work productively with others, and my unique ideas I would bring to the table. I am open to different ideas and would love to be able represent my fellow students this year on the STMSU.
Geordie Cowan:
Hi, I’m Geordie Cowan, I was born and raised in Saskatoon. I have a diploma in acting. I love stories, which include reading and documentaries. I enjoy soccer more than almost anything else, and I also love tea.
I was the senior watch in my high school for my grade 12 year, and I was also the vice-representative for the student body in my final year at post-secondary theatre school. Within these roles I did a lot of relational work with the student body by getting to know them and listening to them and their needs. Even if I don’t have an idea, someone else might and it’s my job then to make sure they’re heard or seen. Within council I prefer to be an influencing voice instead of being the defining voice.
The best contribution I can make to this team right now, is by being an active listener.
Ways I plan to contribute in this role if elected:
Grady King:
Hello, I am Grady King. I’m a first-year arts and science student planning on majoring in cellular, physiological and pharmacological sciences. I was born and have lived in Saskatoon all my life. I enjoy many sports including hockey, as well as spending time outside and going for hikes.
I want to be first-year rep because I want to advocate for the first-year St. Thomas Moore College students. I enjoy being in a position to help and represent others on more wide scale than just myself. I enjoy planning and participating in scheduled activities that builds a sense of community within the student body. Finally, I want to take this opportunity to learn more closely about how STMSU council operates and finds success within the student body.
You should vote for me because I am a hardworking, dedicated individual. I always make time to help others and hear their concerns. As first-year rep I would be as vocal and active, as possible for first year students concerns during this difficult time. Even though this year will different and difficult, I will make it my priority to ask and listen to the concerns, difficulties and suggestions of St. Thomas Moore students.
Yehia El Karsh:
Throughout my high school years, I have always been involved in student groups within my school and local community, whether through athletics or leadership. I believe that it is through these extracurricular activities that people can develop their identities and build strong communities. Student bodies such as this group allow us to come up with creative ideas and
events to improve students’ experiences, which is my goal as a first-year representative. In spite of COVID restrictions, I have been involved in extracurricular research activities since starting at the university this summer. I am constantly making an effort to improve other students’ first-year experience by creating group chats and meetings for us to establish a sense of comradery and succeed in our remote classes. Further, I am reaching out to many classmates in an effort to build a supportive learning community that is essential for our well-being as remote learners. This
opportunity to become a first-year representative will help me voice students’ concerns and needs, especially during these precarious times.
