“Hi, my name is Fahad, and I’m the Vice President of International Affairs at the SSU. I took on this role because, as an international student myself, I faced many challenges when I first arrived at Sheridan. Not knowing about the services and perks offered by the SSU made it difficult for me to navigate my way. My goal is to serve the international student body to the best of my abilities by listening to their concerns and providing solutions to their problems while ensuring they feel heard and comfortable. What I love most about Sheridan is the variety of people you meet and the inclusive communities that form here.”

What are some of your goals for your role this year?
“This year, I’m focused on creating an International Student Hub where students can find support and resources in one place. I also want to promote mental health and wellness programs specifically for international students and organize cultural events to celebrate our diversity. Another goal is to set up mentorship programs that connect new international students with those who’ve been here longer, making it easier for them to adjust. Most importantly, I’m looking to build stronger connections between international and domestic students, so everyone feels more included and connected on campus.”
Q: What program are you in? And why did you choose this program at Sheridan?
