Travis Laugier Social Sciences Rep. 2010-2012 With 16,000 plus employers, I have a busy life. A life of critics, a life of advisors and a life of service, this is the life of a Guild Councilor. Humility as our guide towards aggressive representation has often put me at odds with both students and administration. However, within my life as a councilor I have learned that there is a line of responsibility that has to be drawn. On a lighter note, and a more pointed one, as a Faculty Representative, I sit on Faculty Board, Academic Board, Boards for various Special Projects and Initiatives, but most importantly, I sit in front of a White Board (always remember we are all students first). Clearly that’s a lot of Boards, so I’m never bored. This is my life, and I thank you for it. Mervin-Alwyn Agiste Public Relations Officer 2009- 2012 I accepted the call to be a student leader on the St Augustine Guild Council with the full knowledge that it would be no easy feat. As a third time councilor the hours only get longer, the issues students face are far more complex and the urgency to strike that balance as a student and a servant to the students is even clearer. No matter the challenges, I see my role on this campus as an opportunity to contribute to student development. So I continue to embrace the experiences on the guild of students in order to ensure that the 16,000 who live within these walls gain a lot more than just a degree‌they gain the university experience.
