PY2 Year Representative Candidates

Ben Ma

Hi, my name is Ben, and I am running to be your PY2 year representative.
You might know me as; the guy who asks questions during lecture break; the person who comes to class with a coat, scarf, and black umbrella; or the man who had the audacity to present evidence
appraisal with an umbrella. However, you may not know that I used to be the vice president and treasurer for a Chemistry Student Society. There, I contributed to planning events such as a Halloween
party and a career night. I also used to be a class representative for my high school music department, where I was mainly responsible for delivering announcements.
As one of your PY2 year reps, I aim to listen to everyone’s concerns. No matter how loud or small your voice is, extrovert or introverted you are, your opinion matters. I will not only attempt to build a connection with all 200 of you but also implement a suggestion box where you can voice your concerns anonymously. What I also aim to do for you is to plan fun and memorable events where more people can participate. For instance, a winter break event where you can have fun with more people in our class or a collaboration event with pharmacy students from other years where you can make more connections.
If you like my ideas, vote for me. If not, vote for me anyway and voice your concern. I look forward to hearing more about you.

Grace Du

Hey everyone! For those who don’t know me, my name is Grace Du, and I am so excited to be running for PY2 class rep! Pharmacy school can be extremely challenging and demanding, but sharing the experience with your class can make it so much easier. That’s why if elected, I will organize events for our year (e.g. gingerbread house making contest in the winter, class laser tag, movie nights, Vancouver Dine out, to name a few ideas), so that we can grow closer and support each other through this journey. As class rep, I will open both my DM’s and my ears to feedback and ensure that it is heard and addressed by the higher ups. If you would like to vote for me, please do so at https://amsvoting.as.it.ubc.ca/.

Kat Su

Hi everyone!
I’m Kat and I’m running for Class of 2027 Year Representative. I had such a great time
being your representative last year and I’d love to do it all again! I want to be even more involved in pharmacy committees this year so I can continue to communicate your
input. I’m a part of the Social Committee again, as well as Student Pipeline and the
PEADs Advisory Committee. I am very passionate about helping others and am always happy to assist in any way that I can. If you missed any notes, need information, or want to know about pharmacy or campus events, I got you! I want to help everyone have fun and succeed in the pharmacy program. If I am re-elected as your year representative, I will continue to encourage an enjoyable, inclusive and welcoming environment.
Thank you!

Mitchell Mah

Hello all, my name is Mitchell Mah and I am running to be one of your Class of 2027 year reps.  In case you haven’t already heard me laughing in class, allow me introduce myself.  I completed my Bachelors of Sciences at SFU back in 2022 (yes, I’m that old) and discovered I had a real passion for biology and physiology.  That passion, along with the yearning to help people as a career, led me to UBC PharmD and to meeting all of you.  It’s that same passion that I want to bring to the table for you as I strive to represent our class.  I am an energetic and extroverted person and I want to use that energy in service of you.  Let us take a deep breath (of our salbutamol inhalers) as we usher in a new and successful second year in pharmacy together!
