Shawn Humphrey
History and Political Science
FASS councilor
1) I have really enjoyed representing my fellow students in FASS over the last term and would like to continue. There are many issues that concern both FASS students, students in general, and students with disabilities that need to be addressed and I would like to continue to resolve them and gain valuable experience along the way.
2) I believe the work that I have done on council last term, both representing FASS students, and my involvement with the accessibility fund committee and Council Participation Standards Committee, along with my position of VP of the Political Science Society and involvement with numerous other groups on campus make me a good candidate for a councilor position.
4) I like off-roading.
