JOSH MACDONALD & ASHLEY MAEDEL
For VP Student Life
School can be stressful. So let’s make sure the KUS is hosting events that YOU actually want! As VP Student Life, we’re committed to making your university experience more fun, memorable, and maybe a little bit more chaotic (in a good way).
We’ll take an input-guided approach by incorporating regular polls and surveys. Want a Kinesiology themed Spelling Bee? More sports events? A KUS hiking or camping trip? New themed parties? We’re all ears. No matter what it is, we want to bring YOUR ideas to life.
Beyond adding new events, we want to make the KINmmunity a space where everyone feels welcome. Whether you're an athlete, an academic weapon, or just here for a good time, we all share 1 thing in common—being a part of the best faculty at UBC.
And we’re here to make sure it stays that way—vote Josh and Ashley for VP Student Life!
My Platform & Goals
[150-WORD BLURB] - Life isn’t just about the big milestones—it’s built on the small, fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. A shared glance that sparks an unspoken understanding, the warmth of sunlight filtering through a window on a quiet morning, the sound of laughter echoing through a crowded room—these are the moments that shape us. We chase grand achievements, but it’s in the everyday details where we find meaning. The conversations that linger in our minds long after they’ve ended, the way music can transport us to a different time, the feeling of accomplishment after a simple task—it all adds up to something greater. When we slow down and pay attention, we realize life is happening in these small moments, not just in the big ones we anticipate. And maybe, just maybe, the little things are what truly define us.
