Alem Tesfay 2025

My name is Alem, and I am excited to serve you as the Vice President External. I study in the Bachelor of Commerce program with a major in Management and double minors in Marketing and Political Science. I have been part of the students' council for most of my degree, where I had the opportunity to advocate for the student voice in various capacities, and I also had the honour of being named Councillor of the Year by my peers. Throughout my time at MacEwan, I have been an ambassador, a volunteer, and the co-founder of the MacEwan Chess Fellowship. You may have seen me working at the Makerspace, advocating for students as a Student Councillor and Vice President Student Life, or attending events hosted by our amazing student groups. I also worked at the Makerspace as a tech tutor, where I represented MacEwan staff as a board member of the MacEwan Staff Union and served two full terms as a member representative. In my previous role in the students' council, I championed student engagement, accountability, affordability, mental health, and inclusivity. As Vice President External, I will work hard to address barriers that limit students from having the best university experience possible, such as affordability and mental health challenges, and to ensure every student feels empowered to make the most of their university experience. In addition, I will advocate for the student voice to leaders across government and external stakeholders in good faith to ensure that students' wants and needs are addressed appropriately.
