Hi everyone! My name is Norah Jacob, and I am a third-year psychology student. During the 2025-2026 academic year, I served as Vice-President Academic Affairs for the USSU, where I worked to improve academic transparency, accessibility, and experiential learning opportunities for undergraduate students. In this role, I led initiatives to expand the use of Open Educational Resources (OERs), increase undergraduate research opportunities, and advocate for clearer, more student-centred academic policies, including greater transparency in course evaluations and fairer academic hearing processes. Before this, I served for two years on University Students’ Council as the representative for St. Thomas More College. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of student governance and academic policy. I am passionate about working with students and faculty to strengthen the student experience, and I hope to bring to Senate a thoughtful, collaborative perspective grounded in student leadership and advocacy.

My name is Sharon Jacob and I am currently a second-year medical student at USask. This past year, I had the pleasure of serving as a senator in my last year of my undergraduate degree. During that experience, I learned about how this governing body of the university functions and how I could contribute to the student experience. This year, I hope to represent student’s interests on the senate again. I hope to raise concerns to the senate and be a public voice for other students. Some of my past experience includes being elected both a councillor for the College or Arts and Science and serving as a USSU Executive.

As a third-year Computer Science student with a background in Computer Engineering, I am running for the Student Member of the University Senate to focus on Engineering a Better Campus. My campaign is centered on building high-efficiency systems that prioritize the student experience through Accessibility, Accountability, and Connection.

I am committed to Accessibility by advocating for universal access to campus resources and streamlining our digital and physical environments to better serve diverse student schedules. Through Accountability, I will work to ensure fiscal transparency regarding university funds and donations while upholding the high academic standards we expect in exchange for our tuition. Finally, I will foster Connection by serving as a dedicated bridge between the student body and university administration, ensuring that your concerns are met with both empathy and professional action.

I am a candidate dedicated to designing solutions and initiating change. On March 26 and 27, I ask for your vote on PAWS to help engineer a more responsive and transparent university experience.

My name is Jasmin, and I am a third-year PharmD student who has completed my entire post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan. Over the past year, I have had the privilege of serving my first term as a USSU Senator, where I have gained valuable experience with Senate procedures and the role it plays in shaping academic policy at our university.

To me, the most important part of being a senator is being committed to representing student perspectives in the decisions that affect our student experience and our education. I believe students should have a clear and meaningful voice in academic governance, and I am passionate about advocating for your interests at the Senate table.

I am running for a second term as USSU Senator to amplify students’ concerns and ideas. If re-elected, you can trust that I will remain dedicated to listening to students, communicating your perspectives, and helping ensure that Senate decisions reflect the needs of our student community.
