What are your ideas for new events?

I’m going for small events, like cultural discoveries, so that people can be aware of the diversity on campus. Being a Quebec resident, I did not live in residence, so I have not been in touch with any of the international, diverse values on campus that you feel when you are living in residence. So I’d like to focus on that, but that’s not including other stuff like speakers coming for positive change for the community.

Do you think you have an advantage for this position as a Francophone student?

Yeah, I definitely see that as an advantage because I think that residence is a kind of bubble, and McGill students tend to live in the McGill Ghetto. Living in Quebec culture will definitely help me because I’ll try to present and bring on campus Quebec culture as much as possible. Working for Le Delit and seeing how [Francophones] don’t have that much of a voice makes me aware that it’s important to show [students] what Montreal really is—not only the four blocks of the McGill Ghetto, [but] something much bigger.

How will your  experience in the Biochemistry Undergraduate Society (BUGS) prepare you for the position?

I think that coming from the departmental level, we at BUGS are really tight—we do parties together and we try and help out as much as we can, or most of us try to come to [each others’] events … So I think that really is what I want to create, the tightness between people so that they become buddies. So in my platform I try to make faculties and departments work together … because if they become friends it will be easier for them to have interfaculty activities and interdepartmental activities … I think that BUGS is a major [advantage] for me because I learned all the tools of politics, and most of my ideas come from my BUGS experience.

If you could high-five anyone in history, who would you high-five?

Being French, I would say Napoleon. I like what he did. He was impressive, especially how he conquered all of Europe, and he was just a genius. And the military tactics he used were completely new for the time.
