If elected as the Faculty of Education Director, I would prioritize addressing the structural challenges within the Intermediate/Senior Concurrent Programs. Currently, students alternate between undergraduate studies and Teacher's College, which can lead to knowledge gaps due to the time between these phases. T o tackle this issue, I will collaborate with faculty and administration to develop a more streamlined approach, mirroring the Primary/Junior level's fixed structure. Ensuring the two Teachers College years are consecutive will facilitate improved knowledge retention and skill development for university students. Implementing this change would equip our students with the tools they need to excel as future educators, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of our Concurrent Programs.

Building positive work relationships within the UWSA Board, its members, and the UWindsor administration requires creating an environment that values open-mindedness, respect, and understanding. T o achieve this, I plan to implement the following strategies:

1. Maintain an open mind and encourage diverse perspectives. By recognizing each individual's unique experiences and ideas, we can foster a culture of inclusivity and collaboration.

2. Treat everyone with respect and professionalism. This will include actively listening to others, acknowledging their contributions, and engaging in constructive dialogue, even when disagreements arise.

3. In potential situations, when I disagree with someone's idea or opinion, I will ask questions to enhance my understanding of their viewpoint. This approach will help me empathize with their point of view and promote a productive exchange of ideas.

By prioritizing these values and practices, I am confident we can create positive and productive work relationships within the UWSA. This collaborative and respectful environment will enable us to make well-informed decisions and effectively serve the UWindsor community.

The UWSA is a student-driven organization essential to our university community. It advocates our needs and concerns at all levels and serves as a critical liaison between students and administration. Through its diverse initiatives, including social justice campaigns, clubs, and campus services, the UWSA creates a vibrant and inclusive environment that enriches the student experience. By providing platforms for engagement and growth, it empowers us to shape our university journey and contribute to a thriving, supportive campus culture. As a proud member of the UWSA, I am dedicated to furthering its impact and helping build an even more connected and empowered student body.
