Student government affords us the opportunity to shape our institution into a place that we feel will best support our peers in the pursuit of higher learning. Keeping with this mandate, my chief goal as Director of Academic Affairs would be to create and maintain a solid, student-run academic support system in both official languages. Glendon students would be given the opportunity to voice academic concerns, actively participate in the policy and planning of their own courses, and develop relations with on and off-campus intellectual communities. Join me in building a stronger academic network at Glendon!

• Monitor academic planning and policy through better communication with and more student representation on the Faculty Council (Glendon's highest governing body) and all its standing committees.
• Create a student-run support system within each academic department through the reestablishment of course unions and a committee of course union representatives.
• Provide greater academic support to the student body through a structured peer-tutoring program, an online databank of previous exams, e discussion forums, and an anonymous complaint service.
• Develop better relations with on-campus academic clubs and services through an academic clubs information day, an academic clubs fundraising carnival, and an academic service referral program.
• Establish intellectual discourse with the greater academic community through a city-wide university network comprised of the Glendon and Keele campuses, Ryerson Unversity, and the University of Toronto.
• Maintain the bilingual identity of Glendon through bilingual academic support services and the representation of both English and French speaking students on academic committees.
