“Hi everybody! I’m Zack, and I’ll be working with SSU as a Social Media Coordinator. I was inspired to join SSU after seeing their passion for helping students navigate their studies and build a strong sense of community at Sheridan. I’m excited to promote different events happening around campus, attend field trips, meet new people, and boost engagement in student activities. What I love most about Sheridan is how hands-on the education is. I really appreciate that I can take what I learn and directly apply it to the industry I want to work in.”

“I have a few different goals for my role this year. First, I’d like to help students stay informed about events and opportunities at Sheridan through consistent communication. Next, I want to grow my skills in content creation. While I already have experience in this area, I’m excited to take my skills to the next level and grow alongside SSU.

Q: Which SSU Perk Partner is your personal favourite?
“My favourite SSU Perk Partner is Presto’s Post-Secondary Student Discount. I commute to Sheridan almost every day by GO Bus, so the discount helps me save money on transportation.”
