Fall Semester Recap: VP Communications

 

Hey Huron!

As the semester comes to an end, I hope that all of your finals went well! The goal for the communications portfolio has been to continue engaging with students. and broadcast the work/projects of the HUCSC. Through social media, posters, blogs, and other means, we have continued to strive to increase the transparency of the HUCSC with the student body.

The comms portfolio continues to work closely and collaboratively with the four other portfolios of the HUCSC. We aim to share their initiatives, as well as other workings in council. Oftentimes, our team is the last phase in the finalization process before we present information to students!

Before outlining some of our accomplishments, I would like to thank the amazing communications team for their efforts and dedication throughout the fall semester:

Kiara Lau (Outreach Associate), Hannah Brayford (Social Media Associate), Gauri Pasbola (Marketing Affairs Coordinator), Mary Ann Sing (Beaver Dam Coordinator), Arpan Dhaliwal (Video Coordinator), Addy Buckley (Website Coordinator), Joey Lisser (Photographer), Maya Corroy (Photographer), and Amanda Wilson (Communications Commissioner).

Hype Team Members: Grace, Mike, Jayden, Ashmita, Suhani, Abel, Adele, Robbie, Claire, and Dylan

Promotion Delegates: Carolyn, Sabreen, Soha, and Sophia
