About Me

Hey hey hey! My name is Dasnoor, and I'm so excited to be back on the MSS for my second year! This year, I'm excited to connect with campus services and offices (like our lovely Associate Dean of EDII, Kalai, and the Equity and Inclusion Office) to build a greater understanding of EDII within our MSS executive team, ultimately leading to more inclusive and accessible events for you all! I also can't wait to collaborate with these partners on events like informative workshops and creative activities (like zine-making)! When I'm not working on MSS initatives, you can find me in the Psychology Building, either working (yapping) in the lobby or teaching an IntroPsych tutorial. I also love reading (on an audiobook kick), crocheting (very beginner vibes), and am playing on a volleyball intramural team, so you might catch me in DBAC too!


Goals

1. Collaborate with MSU services, such as DEN, WGEN, PCC, Maccess, to deliver programming and events centred on inclusion and advocacy.

2. Increase accessiblity of educational EDII resources and awareness of on-campus supports for marginalized communities.

Projects

1. Implement an in-person component to MSS executive EDII training

2. Host collaborations with MSU services throughout the year

3. Create an online EDII resource hub for Science students
