 | Zain Bukhari | Director | I am a fourth-year business student running for the SAITSA Board of Directors. If elected, my focus will be on actively engaging with the student population to better understand their needs and effectively represent their interests at Board meetings, around campus and community events. I will provide complete transparency in my actions and hold myself, the executive council, and the rest of the Board accountable to the students. By keeping a strong presence on campus and through informed decision-making, I believe that I can add value to students and play a prominent role as a member of the Board.

 | Matthew Busby | Director | Hello, my name is Matthew Busby. I am currently running for re-election with a platform based on textbook prices. The price that us students have to pay for textbooks are absurd and insulting. For us broke students, and I can say this personally, having no money kind of blows! To do this, I plan on assisting our SAITSA VP external in lobbying efforts to achieve this. If you are sick of paying these absurd prices for textbooks, please make sure to vote for Busby on October 3rd and 4th. Thank you! |
