Sam Gregory, Arts U2

After having the opportunity to sit down with all the candidates and hear their vision for the future, I decided that Austin is the best candidate to move SSMU forward and to rebuild a relationship with the student body that is both engaging, and relevant. He see's the importance in SSMU working on issues such as equity, divestment, and sustainability, but in a way that is relatable to the general student population and that holds SSMU accountable for its decisions. He has the administrative experience to move SSMU's internal operations forward in a way that decreases red tape for student groups, and increases opportunities for student work both at SSMU and around campus. Finally, Austin has excellent ideas on how to work with the University to ensure that we uphold McGill's prestige and remain competitive in Canada and North America.
