FINAL MESSAGE FROM SUS PRESIDENT, JESSICA LEVESQUE

"Today is my final day as your President at UFVSUS. When I decided to run for this role back in early 2020, it was with the knowledge and experience of having already worked within the organization that drove my ambitious goal of reshaping the UFV Student Union Society. I saw the potential of what a strong, connected student union could do for our community and I wanted to help lead that change and see its potential fulfilled, we needed to re-build SUS with a strong foundation. Today, UFVSUS is practically unrecognizable compared to even just one year ago. From implementing the many internal systems to increase accountability and using new tools to improve the productivity of our team to establishing our new multi-year strategic plan that focuses on core values and creating more student opportunity, I am so proud of the massive amounts of work that have gone into improving SUS. As we enter this new year, with 2020 behind us and endless possibilities ahead of us, I know that with the leadership skills and experience of our new Student Union Society President, Nikiel Lal, we will continue to reinforce the positive impact in our community while increasing the influence of our student’s voices. With a strong organizational foundation, our abilities to grow and improve have become possible and I look forward to continuing to contribute to this work as the new Programs and Services Manager at UFVSUS. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of the UFV Community for their support and for the ongoing opportunity to learn and become better. To all UFV Students, I am so proud of you all for working so hard this year towards your goals. I truly hope you can take a moment to recognize the massive effort you’ve put in to get to where you are now. YOU ROCK! And just like that, my year serving the UFV Student community as Student Union Society President comes to an end. Jessica Levesque (SUS President 2020-2021)
