2026 Elections

Older eras of the university were defined by ballooning deficits and closed doors, I am bringing fiscal responsibility back to the table to ensure the fees students pay benefit them. Progress is incredibly important regarding issues like food insecurity. We need a student leader who has actually led, and been to the metaphorical front lines. I am dedicated to continuing to progress URSA for the betterment of all students -- so that their fees never have to pay a million dollar deficit, so campus groups never feel trapped behind closed doors, and so in 10 years the U of R is the token of successful governance.

From the bustling city of Lagos, to the mountainous kingdom of Lesotho, and now in the prairies of Canada, I have been exposed to various societal conditions that have stirred and fueled my passion for being a voice for underrepresented groups like students. Being a woman of colour who has spent the majority of her life as a minority, I understand the student struggle of not being heard and being impacted by policies that rarely address our real concerns. My campaign has four major pillars: Listening, Bridging, Advocacy and Practicality. Firstly, listening. Your voices shape my work. Secondly, bridging. I view this role as a bridge between students' voices and the university leadership. Thirdly, advocacy rooted in accountability. I will hold the executive and university leadership accountable for the policies and decisions that affect us students. Lastly, practicality. I will put forth our practical and collaborative solutions that address our problems.

Hi everyone! My name is Kelvin, and I’m a third-year Psychology major with a Biochemistry minor running to be your next VP of Internal Affairs. For the past three years, I’ve been involved as Secretary for the Pre-Dentistry Club.

Through my involvement in the club, it showed me how important it is to create a space where students with similar goals can connect, support each other, and feel like they belong. As VP of Internal Affairs, I want to help maintain transparency by keeping updates and decisions clear and easy for students to access. I also want to focus on supporting student groups and organizations, so they have strong communication and the support they need to bring fun events for everyone.

My name is Anhadleen Kaur Chauhan, and I am a third-year Social Work student at the University of Regina. As VP Student Life, my platform is rooted in three things: inclusion, accessibility, and genuine community. I want to create campus spaces and events that reflect the full diversity of our student body. I want to strengthen peer connection programs, improve awareness of mental health and wellness resources, and make student life feel less like something that happens to some students and not others. I bring lived experience of navigating university without a roadmap, and I want to use that experience to make the path easier for everyone who comes after me.
