Rachel  Mitchell  GSA  Vice  President,  2015-­‐2016   My  name  is  Rachel  Mitchell  and  I  am  a  Master's  of  Environment  and  Resource  Studies  student  here  at  UW.    Prior  to  my  arrival  at  UW,  I  completed  a  BA  in  Economics  and  Aquatic  Resources  from  StFX  University  in  Antigonish,  Nova  Scotia.    I  am  excited  and  honoured  to  have  the  opportunity  to  be  involved  in  the  GSA.  I  am  extremely  passionate  about  the  graduate  student  experience,  academics,  and  campus  engagement.  I  am  currently  involved  in  many  aspects  of  student  life  including  co-­‐president  of  the  Environment  Graduate  Student  

Association  (EGSA),  and  an  ERS  student  department  rep.    During  my  undergrad  at  StFX  University,  I  served  as  the  VP  of  the  Students'  Union  where  I  represented  students  on  Senate,  and  a  number  of  committees  regarding  equity,  student  life,  orientation  week,  and  academic  spaces.  I  have  extensive  experience  representing  students,  and  advocating  for  more  inclusive,  innovative  and  sustainable  practices  in  the  University  landscape.  I  am  very  excited  to  have  the  opportunity  to  contribute  to  the  work  of  the  GSA  and  improve  the  graduate  student  experience  here  at  UW  now  and  into  the  future.
