I'm in my first year of Engineering at UBC and I'm running to be the EUS's VP Academic to create a more healthy environment for all of us. While UBC Engineering comes with a wonderful community, amazing spirit and an amazing education, it also comes with a huge workload. That workload can be burdened by courses and professors that are unclear, late or inconsistent. As VP Academic, I will advocate for UBC Engineering students when grievances are brought up against professors or courses. Furthermore, I will work with the EUS's ad hoc Health and Wellness Committee to create a comprehensive plan to address students suffering from academic burnout.

I believe that I am more than ready to take on the academic portfolio of the EUS. My strong work ethic is reflected in the Olympic distance triathlon and the marathon I've completed. My leadership is reflected in my successful time as an alpine ski coach and a mentor to new coaches. My passion in dedication is reflected in the over $8000 I've raised for the Canadian Cancer Society over the past four years.

I am a strong well-rounded candidate and a dedicated worker. By voting for Jackson Dagger, you're voting for someone who will improve the EUS's academic portfolio and make changes that positively affect all of us.
