Raghuveer Vakharia
HMC Candidate
Tell us about yourself and your involvement in the Sheridan community:
“My name is Raghuveer Vakharia and I am in my 3rd year of Honours Bachelors in Business Administration-Finance at HMC. I am currently working as a Program Tutor for Finance at Sheridan. I have previously worked as a virtual connector at Sheridan as well. I personally believe that you don't need to have a job or volunteer at Sheridan to help people and be more involved. One can just show their helping nature at Sheridan like guiding a new student to class or helping them take classes for the new semester. It could be the smallest thing in the world but helping and showing kindness towards other people without being obligated to do is what makes the Sheridan a community.”
As a member of the Board of Directors, all elected members will represent the mission and values of Sheridan Student Union. and will focus our attention and efforts in three main Pillars of Success.
For RAGHUVEER, the importance of these pillars is as follows:
SUPPORTING ACCESS AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO QUALITY EDUCATION
CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES A VIEW OF THE WHOLE STUDENT EXPERIENCE
ENHANCING THE WELL-BEING OF OUR STUDENTS
Explain why you chose “Creating an environment that promotes a view of the whole student experience” as your highest priority?
“The purpose of the Student Union is to represent the students, so I chose supporting access and accountability to quality education as my highest priority because we are indirectly the face of the students and the difficulties that a student goes through is also faced by us, so keeping in mind that students coming to Sheridan expect the highest quality of education since that is what Sheridan is known for. Also, this pillar indirectly includes the agendas of the other two pillars as well, since if we have high accountability and quality education the overall atmosphere will be promoting to student experience and this will be enhancing the well-being of our students. This pillar is also well aligned with the Sheridan Student Union's Strategic Plan since it helps in developing the students character and training them to undertake responsibilities for their future careers as well as training other students for the future of Sheridan Student Union”
