CHANTEN JESSEL

Chanten Jessel did not interview with the Gauntlet and thus, all we have to go off of is his platform. Jessel is a first-year medical student, though he is no stranger to the SU as he served two terms as the Faculty of Science representative.

Jessel hopes to advocate for the use of open education resources (OERs) to help students’ financial burdens and make education more affordable for CSM students.

At the same time, Jessel will look to host a Decolonizing Health Care Congress where CSM students can learn from Indigenous leaders about how to honour reconciliation in medicine and overall, work towards decolonizing health care.

Lastly, Jessel wants to have an active presence on social media to help increase accountability and show students what their SU representative is doing in terms of meetings, initiatives and advocacy.

Jessel’s platform shows that he has the experience and ideas to help CSM students.

All undergraduate students in the Cumming School of Medicine can vote YES or NO on their ballot for up to two candidates for FACULTY REPRESENTATIVE or ABSTAIN from voting.
