Welcome to my humble abode on the internet. I should probably first introduce myself. I’m Justin Pon, your Haskayne School of Business Faculty Representative for the Students’ Union, 70th Student Legislative Council. Along with Carol Yan, we both represent your guys’ best interests to the council, faculty, external, and of course other students. I’ll be sitting on various committees for Haskayne, representing the student voice on various issues in the coming year. You’re probably wondering, “Hey Justin, what exactly are the issues?”. Well here is a brief summary of what is going to be happening in Haskayne in the 2012/2013 academic year:
- BComm Review: We’ll be reviewing the BComm curriculum and deciding which courses to add, take out, and restructure. This is to better align with the Haskayne Strategic Plan’s three pillars: Entrepreneurship, Energy, and Ethical Leadership.
- Clubs’ Trailer: The Haskayne student clubs’ offices in Scurfield are going to be torn down within the next year, and we’ll be addressing how to best relocate them.
- CUS Restructuring: The Commerce Undergraduate Society is restructuring how it operates, and is going to be moving from an event planning organization to an advocacy and umbrella group.
These are just three big issues that immediately come to mind that are facing Haskayne students, among many other important ones that will have their own posts. My intention with this blog is to update you all with any progress I make on different issues. Along with my SU mandated monthly reports, I’ll be writing detailed blog posts on a more regular basis. I will also be posting about different events that are going around campus that would interest the average Haskayne student. Finally, if some hot-button education related issue pops up, I will giving my perspective on it (feel free to debate with me in the comments section too).
That about covers everything that I wanted to in my first post. If you see me on campus, please do say hi. See you all in Scurfield!
Justin
