VP Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion

The VP EDI Sr. role leads the larger EDI portfolio. In addition to the VP EDI Sr., this portfolio consists of the VP EDI Jr., MSAP Sr. & Jr. for Student Support, and MSAP Sr. & Jr. for Education. Through our roles, we seek to center and take lead from equity-seeking student groups, who have traditionally been underrepresented in our student body, program, and governance structures. Part and parcel of this role, relating to its commitment to anti-oppression, is to further develop transparency and accountability within the Medical Society’s structures.

VP Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion Sr.

About Me

Hi there! My name is Aisha, and I use she/her pronouns. I did my undergrad and graduate studies at Queen’s. I’m always down for good coffee, good chats, and good music. Please feel free to reach out to me, whether it be regarding EDI-related topics or local café recommendations.

My main goal in this role is to engage with students (you!!) and initiatives on campus to increase inclusion and amplify underrepresented voices at all levels including within MedSoc, within the Faculty of Medicine, and throughout the student community -- so please do reach out with any questions, concerns, or suggestions that you might have. I hope to strengthen communication between the EDI portfolio, student groups, and faculty, and aim to shape my role through a lens of anti-oppression.

VP Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion Jr.

About Me

Hi there! My name is Amanvir (she/her). I did my undergrad and graduate studies at York University. I enjoy exploring the city so I’m always up for a walking-tour. In my free-time, I’m usually reading a book or watching a documentary on architectural history, the natural sciences, or ancient societies. Please feel free to reach out to me for any EDI-related concerns and/or suggestions (or if you have any good book recommendations!).

Year Plans and Goals

As VP EDI Jr. my main goal is to help amplify the voices of students as we forge an ever growing and diverse Faculty of Medicine student community. Equity to me means bridging differences in opportunity by listening to unique perspectives and helping advocate for change in a productive way. Conversations surrounding EDI catalyze change, therefore, I encourage you to reach out with questions, suggestions, and concerns so we can work together to strengthen our student community.
