COUNCILLOR

Kate Mochina

Since my Last Semi-Annual Report my position on VUSAC has evolved and I have become more confident in my place on council. As I have continued to be a part of the Scarlet and Gold Commissions I have successfully been able to help plan the semi-formal along with High Ball coming up in March which the commission is currently working on. As part of the Arts and Culture Commission, we had a very successful Gardiner Gala in which I was also able to help volunteer at as a VUSAC member.

Aside from the commissions I have been assigned to, I am proud to say that I have been working with the other First-Year Counselors to plan various events for other first year students. Our first event titled “First Year Valentine’s Karaoke” took place on February 13th and was very successful with a lot of attendance and engagement with the event. Many people were participating and said that they thoroughly enjoyed the event as a whole. Over the course of the semester we are continuing to plan more first year events such as a scavenger hunt aimed to bring more students to the VUSAC office, as well as a mocktail themed event which will allow students to connect and wind down before exam seasons and enjoy some refreshing drinks. Additionally, through my office hours I have found myself more comfortable answering questions and making the space feel as welcoming as possible.

I look forward to the many events that are happening this semester and feel that I have grown in the position and am continuing to positively contribute to the community and the student life here at Victoria College.
