Krzysztof's Platform

I am a fourth year Marketing student running for the position of Haskayne Student Representative alongside Jasmine Chitroda on The JK Slate. My time in Haskayne has been amazing, and it would be an absolute honor to be elected as your student representative to enhance your experience as well. Combined, Jasmine and I have four years of clubs experience. We’ve worked together in executive roles on the Commerce Undergraduate Society, from which we’ve learned our individual strengths. We wish to work together and use these strengths for our individual goals in our platforms, as well as common goals to benefit the Haskayne Community.  Some goals I have are, 1. Developing a stronger sense of community: I will strive to find new ways to increase school spirit, and make more students proud to be a part of Haskayne. Everyone knows about the camaraderie that exists in Engineering. I want to replicate that sense of community in Haskayne. I propose strengthening our relationship with Engineering, so we not only have more joint events/fundraisers, but also maintain some “friendly” competition. Our events and activities should include everyone. We are all students in Haskayne and no one should feel left out. 2. Increasing Student Engagement: I plan on providing better means of communication; a way for students to become more informed about Haskayne events, and also a way for them to voice their opinions. If we know what our students are looking for, we will find ways to engage them.  Together, Jasmine and I wish to work with clubs and faculty on issues such as the transition process for clubs due to the repositioning of student/club space, and continuing the work done on the student levy by the current Haskayne Representatives.  Combining our experience, drive, and passion makes Jasmine Chitroda and myself, Krzysztof Iwanicki the best candidates for your Haskayne Faculty Representatives.

On March 5th-7th please vote! JK, but seriously.

Jasmine's Platform:

My name is Jasmine Chitroda, and I am a 2nd year International Business and Political Science student. In the upcoming Student’s Union election, I am running for the Haskayne Faculty Representative position alongside Krzysztof Iwanicki in ‘The JK Slate’. After being actively involved in the Haskayne community the past few years, I have personally benefited from the opportunities that Haskayne has to offer, and am excited to take on a new challenge of representing student needs with the Student’s Union.

Areas of focus:

1. Student Clubs Support:

Haskayne Student Clubs offer many events and programs that enrich the student experience, however with the sheer number of clubs there can be a duplication of efforts. I plan on working with the clubs to facilitate a collaborate environment which will allow clubs to plan events with maximum value to students with minimal redundancies.

I want to ensure that both students and faculty are aware of the benefits that student clubs provide, and can do this best in a position where I can advocate on their behalf. It is important for faculty to know the importance of clubs in the Haskayne community because of how their initiatives supplement classroom teachings. Additionally, funding, support, and space for clubs and student activities are top priorities.

2. Affordability:

 There are many events, programs, and conferences available for students across the country; however these events are not always affordable for students on a budget. I want to provide students with more funding by building upon the work done this year to initiate a student activities levy. Doing so will reduce the direct cost for students as well as allow students to enrich their undergraduate experience with new opportunities without the limitation of cost.

3. Leadership:

I believe that the Haskayne School of Business has made tremendous advances in bringing in the Canadian Centre with Advanced Leadership (CCAL) in Business. I want to work with Haskayne in developing an academic programming that is integrated into the classroom teaching business students to be leader.

It is also in partnership with this office that we will be facilitating the creation and integration of a new Haskayne governing body. This governing body will be a liaison between Haskayne faculty, clubs, and all students. The aim of this governing body is to prioritize student interests, and ensure that more leadership opportunities are available.  Additionally, the creation of this governing body will assist in fostering a sense of community within Haskyane, and increasing student engagement.

With my extensive involvement and experience in many different aspects of the campus community, I have a holistic view of the university, and see many opportunities to make Haskayne more vibrant. By working collaboratively with Krzysztof on developing a stronger sense of community and increasing student engagement, our slate will improve on key issues identified by business students. The combination of our experience, drive, and passion make Krzystof and myself, Jasmine, the best candidates for the Haskayne Faculty Representatives.

On March 5-7, please vote! JK ... But seriously.

For the first time in my life, I don't know what I want to be. I'm not in school to pursue a certain career. I'm not threatened by examinations and aptitude tests. The very first time that uncertainty and unconventional thinking has change my prospective on life. No longer am I strangled by the assignments, the papers, or the work; and no longer am I strangling my dreams and passions. I've always had a saying. The good must battle the good in order to become great, and with that, I have made the conscious decision to leave behind the many friends and supporters in the Haskayne School of Business for greener pastures. But let this be known that, although I am no longer a man of title, I am a man of practice. Fair-well, but not goodbye.

Hand me the booze and watch me get Fabulous!

Oi.  So much has happened, is happening... I'm exhausted just thinking about it.  So.  Here are recent developments including me being a slutty bitch, drunk texting, breaking up with Matt, getting sick and trying not to fail out of Haskayne...

The weekend after California I went to lunch with A and L which turned into drinking bottles of bubbly, then drinking more bubbly, then getting trashed and going to Ubu, and Hudsons.  Somewhere along the way I started texting R and he ended up coming to get me, but my drunk ass brought the girls out too so the four of us ended up going to Humpty's, which was random.  I also spent most of the night fighting with Matt, including when I went outside at Humpty's to yell at him on the phone.  The weekend after Sister and I went to girls night with the WOOOOO girls, which started at 1410 and then West and Sister and I drinking way too much bubbly and again, me and R texting.  Turned out he was at S's place and told me to come over.  I get there and it's literally just R, S and R's brother.  And I was trashed.  Awkward much? I'm not gonna lie, parts of that night are quite blurry but the jyst of it is me getting out of bed with R and into bed with S. Oops? And then I pretty much peaced in the morning without saying goodbye or anything.  I feel really bad because R is such a wonderful guy but I just don't feel that way about him whereas S is such a jackass but I just can't control myself around him.

On St. Patty's day I met up with J and O and we drank too much and then went to the Ship to continue drinking excessively.  K and B were there with D and her sister, both of whom were sloppy drunk.  When there's already a messy drunk girl I'm less inclined to be one which is nice.  It's was a highly entertaining night though and ended in J and I sleeping at K & B's new place and J spilling beer on the carpet.  Oops!

It's been nearly two weeks now since Matt and I broke up.  We'd just been fighting so much recently and we could both tell things were falling apart and we were just holding onto strings better left to fray.  So we had morning sex and called it quits.  The worst part is that I feel like I've lost one of my best friends.  He's been such a huge part of my life for two years now and I it's weird not having him there anymore.  I do miss him.  But I know this is all for the better. 

Last Wednesday was my 22nd.  It's amazing to see how times flies, I feel like my 21st was just yesterday, in Vienna.  Tear.  I spent the day with the Haskayners, lunching and shopping.  Matt came of course.  I made sure he did, I couldn't imagine him not being there, afterall he's part of that group.  It wouldn't be right without him.  Then dinner with the fam of course.  Have I mentioned how annoying they are?? All the three of them talk about are B and her new job and installing SAP and I don't fucking care, would you all just shut up and pass me another drink? Fuck. 

On Saturday night Sister wanted to go out so we headed to Melrose and happened to spot J wandering down 17th! So A joined us, then J and G, then K and B as well.  It turned into a random night as we headed to 1410 as usual, drank bottles of Moet and were generally messy.  T was at 1410, completely smashed out of his mind.  And then I drunk texted S and it literally said "Wanna fuck?" Oops again.  But I needed Rebound/Birthday sex! Useless bastard didn't respond though.  I seriously hate him so much it's not even funny. 

Haskayne has been ridiculously busy, so many group projects and so much to do and I have just been so lazy recently! I need to get my shit together.  I have some great groups though, which helps. 

Speaking of which, I need to go work and can't think of anything else...
