One week left to pick up/drop off your nomination packages!

A message from your outgoing VP Campus Life, Lakeshore

Hey Everybody!

As your VP Campus Life, I just want to say I had a blast this year… and it’s all thanks to you! Thanks for coming out to our biggest Frosh Week ever (who remembers the Trailer Park Boys, MSTRKRFT, and LMFAO!), for paricipating in all of our traditional annual events (Big Brother, iPod Battle, Hallowe’en Party), and checking out some of our brand new events this year as well (Amazing Race, Humber’s Got Talent, and look out for Dancing With The Staff). However, it’s not all about the big ticket events… we’ve also done a Life Skills Series (which includes hands-on workshops and guest speakers), Casino Days, Psychic Fairs, Food Tastings, Concerts, Game Shows, Tournaments, and the list goes on and on. And none of it could of happened without you – the students of Humber – so thank you again for supporting the HSF and all that we do!

So if you’re one of those students who absolutely loves our events and simply can’t get enough, and perhaps has a couple exciting new event ideas brewing in the back of their head… then you should grab a nomination package and run for VP Campus Life for the 2010-2011 school year! I’ve had such an awesome experience this year where I’ve had the opportunity to work with an amazing group of people, see some of my event ideas transform into reality, and truly enhance student life on campus. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting all kinds of students on campus, developing strong working relationships with both HSF and Humber staff, and sharing experiences to last a lifetime. The HSF has become like a second family to me, and I hope every student reading this can relate to that sentiment.

It isn’t all fun and games though as the VP Campus Life. You still have to worry about full time studies and all that entails (readings, homework, projects, exams, etc.), responsbilities as an executive and a board member on the HSF, overseeing the 60+ clubs on campus, sitting on various committees and advocating for students, and of course, your family and personal life. It can be a lot to juggle, and at times it’s very easy to slip into “HSF mode” and forget about everything else in your life. So for those of you aspiring to be future executives, consider this your fair warning: it will require excellent organizational and time management skills, strong discipline, an ability to work with a wide variety of people, and a high capacity for stress. Oh, and a passion for improving your fellow students’ experience here at Humber. After taking all of that into consideration, if you feel you are up to the challenge, then the best of luck to you – you will represent the future of Humber Students.

Confidently Yours,

Bryan Tran
VP Campus Life

A message from your outgoing President

Hi Students!

As your current President, I have had the pleasure of working with the HSF staff to make your college experience the best it could be.  Being the President of HSF is a very demanding but fulfilling position. As the President, you would be responsible for a corporation that is the voice of approximately 20 000 full time students. This position will build upon and strengthen your skills and abilities to get you ready for the “real world.”

If you want to make the most out of your college experience and to give back, you should run for an HSF Executive position. The positions allow you to build upon what previous executives have accomplished for the students and to leave your legacy at Humber.  If you have ideas that you feel will benefit the students (at large) then HSF is the right place for you.

Your studies are very important, however, it is the extra-curricular activities that create the lasting memories.  You have to make the most out of your time at Humber and the best way to do so is to get involved. Being the President of HSF has been a great opportunity and a wonderful learning experience. Just remember, “life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” If you want to create change, I encourage you to run for an HSF position.

A message from your outgoing VP Administration, Lakeshore

Hello Everyone!!!

The 2010 elections are upon us, and it is time for a new group of students to become the leaders of the HSF. Throughout the year, I have been given many opportunities to enhance your experience here at Humber through the services that the HSF provides. With the new Free Legal Advice program and the Financial Consulting program, I feel that we are taking the right steps in providing you with these services.

I’ve had the chance to work with so many great people and established relationships that will last a lifetime. Not only are the people great, but the work experience you gain is also amazing. It will be sad to leave, but it is time to pass the torch to another well deserving student.

Now, I will give you my expert advice. To all of the potential candidates – get out there!! Take advantage of the two weeks you have to campaign as it is the best way to get your name known around campus. For future executives – your time in this position will fly by! Reach out and do as much as you can for students (while maintaining that GPA, of course!) during the time you have here.

Finally, to all candidates and future executives, I wish you the best of luck!
Sincerely,

Kristen Arcega
VP Administration Lakeshore

A message from your outgoing VP Administration, North

Hey Students,

It’s Melissa Mendes here, your HSF Vice President of Administration for the North campus.  As you all know, we are hitting another year of elections.  This means that you will be voting in new candidates for this upcoming year.  I must say that it has been a great year working for the HSF.  My position has given me many opportunities to reach out to students, hear their concerns and listen to their feedback.  As the VP of Administration, not only have I been providing you with information about the services we offer at the HSF, but have helped bring you new ones, including our new on campus Pharmacy. With our Volunteer Program steering in a new direction and many on the way, I hope that I have given you an opportunity to take part within the HSF.

For the new Vice President of Administration, I encourage you to reach out to every student as much as you can and truly understand that the students are our future. HSF’s slogan, We Help. Give. Humber Life. is exactly the motto I lived by this year.  Helping students has been truly gratifying.

Lastly, I would like to say to the potential candidates try your best and love what you do. The HSF is a home and family to all students here at Humber and Guelph-Humber.

Thanks guys; have a great second semester.

Cheers.
Melissa.
