Devrey Robbins

Hello, my name is Devrey Robbins. I am a commerce stu-
dent in my fourth year of studies pursuing a double major in
accounting and finance. I have enjoyed 3 years at UNBC so

far and have had many great experiences. After I graduate I |

plan on pursuing a career as a,Financial Planner and eventu-
ally starting a business of my own, Eventually, there comes a
time in every person's life where they must give back to those
who have given to them. I have been an active student playing
a variety of sports like snowboarding, ringette and field hock-
ey and also coaching ringette and field hockey teams. During
my third year I was the treasurer of the UNBC Snowboard-
ing Club. Currently, I am a member of the Monetary Affairs
Commission, It has been a good experience to see how an
organization can work from the inside but I believe that with
the right leadership our student society could provide better
representation to the students. Over my term at this school
I have seen many disagreements between the students and
the NUGSS society and believe that much of it has to do
with the lack of communication. I hope everyone gets out to
vote and I am optimistic that I will be able to work on these
problems for you next year.

VP Finance

Satvir Sangha
Born and raised in Prince George,
I will be entering my third year pur-
suing a degree in International Busi-
ness and International Studies. Even
before attending UNBC, I was ex-
clusively involved in the well known
Dosti club on campus, From being
VP last year and previously treasurer
for the club, I also held an execu-
tive position (Co-chair and Direc-
tor of Finance) on WUSC (World
University Service of Canada). Last
year I was elected as the College of
Science and Management Repre-
sentative at NUGSS. This position
provided me with first-hand experi-
ence within student political affairs. I

became familiar with how NUGSS
works as a society and it also en-
hanced my links within the UNBC
administration. From all my exten-
sive experience, I believe that being
elected to the NUGSS executive as
VP Finance will allow me to repre-
sent the student society and play a
role in making NUGSS a successful
organization. I look forward to many
exciting new projects and especially
to the upcoming development of the
Northern University Student Cen-
tre at the ever growing University of
Northern British Columbia,

sentation in all aspects of society, This,
as well as a desire to become actively
involved in school governance, has led
me to run for the position of Women's
Representative on the NUGSS Board
of Directors. As the Womens Repre-
sentative, I will ensure that issues that
are important to women at UNBC are
not overlooked or forgotten. While I
am relatively new to UNBC, I feel that
I can offer a fresh perspective and en-
