Hi, I'm Eric Hortop, and I might be your candidate in the GSA elections... voting is tomorrow through Thursday at http://gsa.concordia.ca/www/elections/
I'm a student in the M.Sc. mathematics program, and campaigning for the Arts and Science Director (Science) position on the GSA, affiliated with Graduates for a Progressive Academy (GPA).
I've made forays into student politics with every program I have attended since high school, notably chairing Media Council and representing it to Executive Council at the Dawson Student Union and serving a year on the Academic Programs Committee at Concordia. I've also been involved on the executives and front lines of the Debating Society and Frontier College: Students for Literacy at Concordia, and have served the past year with Concordia's Peer Helpers listening and referral service, and helped wash dishes clean of cheap vegan food scraps at Mother Hubbard's. I'm a member of the Q2 Ally Network, committed to creating a diffuse safe space for queer and questioning members of the Concordia community.
I've worked at Statistics Canada in districting and census methods as well as assisting with research at Hexagram and with artworks by several Montreal artists. I have been a teaching assistant at the technical end of the Communications Studies spectrum as well as in mathematics. I've built up communications skills and a love of detail and fairness in these jobs, travelled a bit, and represented my projects in documentation, at conferences and meetings.
I'm with the GPA because I believe in pushing to reduce the crushing fee disparity between in-province and out-of-province students, because I think that the GSA and the CSU are capable of working more closely on projects of mutual interest, and because Ezra and the rest of the candidates represent a solid, competent and principled team. I am running to be a thoughtful, competent and eloquent representative of science graduate students, and am ready to work constructively with whoever graduates choose.
