EXPERIENCE
Students' Administrative Council
Vice-President External (2004-2005)
Last year Jennifer Hassum ran as a candidate on the Progress Team with a very specific platform. She has been able to come through on all of Team Progress' platform goals - from running a deficit free orientation, to delivering more clubs funding. In addition to that Jennifer fought for and won on-campus polling stations in the federal election, and a decision from the TTC that the student metropass discount was permanent. She heard students' voices of concern about a proposal to put a luxury condominium next to the ROM and spoke out to city council, helping defeat the plan. Now Jennifer is ready to become the Chairperson for your Students' Union.

Brought You More TTC Metropass Sales Locations
Through SAC, Jennifer was a key player in expanding the reduced-rate metropass sales locations. There are now six sales venues across the St. George Campus. The $87 metropass is a great bargain for students, but the hour long lineups are a hassle that students don't need. Next year Jennifer will work on hiring more staff and expanding debit machine use at these sales locations to speed up the lines.

Former Queen's Park Intern
Jennifer Hassum has previously served as an intern at Queen's Park. With the knowledge she gained of the ins and outs of the provincial government, she has the experience to advocate for our interests at City Council, Queen's Park and Parliament Hill.

Arts & Science Students' Union
Executive Member (2004)
As a member of the ASSU executive, Jennifer helped to oversee important projects and acted as an advocate for students in the Faculty. She served on the University of Toronto's Academic Appeals Committee, giving her firsthand experience in representing the needs of students to the University administration.
