Director of Allied Health Candidate
Bruin
Pol
NC Board of Governor Student Rep Candidate
Hello everyone,
My name is Bruin Pol, and I'm thrilled to announce my candidacy for the positions of Director of Allied Health and Board of Governors Student Representative. I am currently finishing Niagara College’s Pre-Health Sciences program with the hopes of being accepted into the Paramedic program here this fall.
I actively contribute my free time to the Canadian Red Cross and have previously volunteered with St. John Ambulance as part of their Medical First Response Unit leadership team.
Beyond my academic and volunteer experiences, I am an avid fitness enthusiast, competitive runner, and devoted dog dad. I love embracing activities that keep me active and outdoors, whether it's hiking, camping, fishing, or simply enjoying a bonfire under the summer stars.
Many of you may know me as the driving force behind one of NCSAC’s largest and most successful clubs, the Niagara College Rainbow Knights (Gay Straight Alliance Club). With a commitment to advocacy, I founded the Niagara College Rainbow Knights two years ago, to amplify the voices of those who may feel unheard and to foster an environment where all students feel safe, accepted, and empowered. Under my leadership, the Rainbow Knights have achieved remarkable success, including winning local unity awards with Pride Niagara, spearheading the establishment of an annual Pride event on campus, advocating for inclusive initiatives such as annual drag shows, and contributing to significant college decisions such as the re-painting of the College’s Pride crosswalks.
Others may know me through my current involvement as a member on the Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Committee at Niagara College, where I help to ensure all students are free from sexual and gender-based violence. Or through my involvement as 2SLGBTQIA+ Board Ambassador with NCSAC in 2023.
If you're seeking a candidate with a proven track record of leadership and advocacy, look no further. As a fellow student, I understand the hurdles of modern post-secondary education, and I vow to fight tirelessly on your behalf. I will listen attentively to your concerns and to advocate passionately for your interests. With my extensive involvement and knowledge of NCSAC, and past and current leadership experiences, I am fully prepared to serve as your unwavering advocate and ally.
If entrusted with the roles of Director of Allied Health and Board of Governors Student Representative, I am committed to extending the same passion and dedication that drove the successes of the Niagara College Rainbow Knights to champion broader advocacy initiatives. It's my solemn pledge to ensure that the voices of both the School of Allied Health and the entire student body are not only heard but are valued in every decision undertaken by NCSAC and Niagara College.
So, as you decide who you choose to vote for in this NCSAC election, I invite you to connect with me in person or via Instagram (@bruinpol) and or via email (bpol1@ncstudents.niagaracollege.ca) to share your thoughts and concerns. Remember, a vote for Pol is a vote for the collective voice of our student community!
