I am very excited to be a part of Glendon's Clean Slate and determined to revive and rekindle the bilingual communication between the GCSU and the students. I am eager to create and launch a French section of its website. Often overlooked by Council, bilingualism is one of Glendon's unique elements that requires much attention and care. Implementing an effective Bilingual Committee and promoting bilingual events on campus are only a few of my many goals.
If Elected, I Will ...
- Maintain the two official languages of the Campus within Council.
- Ensure GCSU communication is broadcasted effectively in both French and English on campus.
- Launch French section of the GCSU website.
- Implement an effective Bilingual Committee, as stated in the Constitution.
- Create strong ties with the Translation Department, offering professional translating experience to students.
- Encourage bilingual cultural events at Glendon and within the bilingual community of Toronto and Ontario.
