    Hello! My name is Chhavi Dhir (she/her). I am in my third year of BA Psychology. Thank you for electing me as the Vice President External Affairs. I have been actively involved in the community whether it’s being part of various student groups, being the Emerging Leader Director for UWSA, being international student mentor, Resident Advisor, Peer wellness Educator and working closely with Sexual Violence Response Team. As a Peer Wellness Educator and Resident Advisor, I dedicated myself to supporting peers in navigating mental health challenges and promoting overall well-being through workshops, events, and one-on-one interactions. I’m particularly proud of spearheading the annual Gala for International students, providing a platform for celebrating cultural diversity and fostering community engagement. This initiative exemplifies my commitment to creating a supportive environment where all students feel valued and included. I will tirelessly fight for better resources, health benefits, more mental health resources, more student/study spaces on campus, collaboration with other universities and departments and bringing more support and opportunities for students. I believe in the power of collaboration and inclusivity, and I am committed to fostering a supportive, safe, inclusive, and empowering environment. I am very approachable, feel free to reach out to me if you have any queries, want to discuss about different initiatives or want me to advocate for something. I hope I can bring some good changes on campus. THANK YOU!
