CHLOE for VP Internal and Organizational Development
Hello, I’m Chloe Homenuke (she/her) and I am running with the SFU Progressives for VP Internal and Organizational Development. I am currently a second-year environmental science major and I am working towards a double major in economics and a minor in Indigenous studies. 

I started in Fall 2020 when learning was fully remote. Online learning was disconnecting and amplified my worries of missing out on the “university experience”, which inspired me to become more involved with my student union. 

I joined the environmental science student union (EVSCSU) as an events coordinator in January 2021, where I learned to engage with students and organize events. I saw the gap between students and the SFSS, which motivated me to serve as my union’s Council representative starting in April 2021 and Co-president in September 2021. 

While on Council, I realized how policy impacted student services, programs, and funding. I helped organize an anti-TMX march and passed a motion at council, represented the SFSS at the ABCS Student Climate Action Initiative, sat as vice-chair of the External and Community Affairs Committee and I am currently serving as the Acting VP Internal and Organizational Development.  

My student union and Council experience have provided me with insight and experiences for how to bridge the gap between the SFSS and students. As your VP of Internal and Organizational Development, I will ensure that students are engaged, involved, and informed about the SFSS and its decisions. 

TL;DRReconnect and bridge the gap between students and the SFSS.
Stronger Student Governance & Consultation
  • Survey undergrads about ways to improve the Health and Dental Plan benefits, lower education costs (OER and tuition), and increase education accessibility 
  • Expand existing Council training programs to include committees and their student-at-large members
  • Work with the VP Finance and Services to research stipends for student union and club executives, and implement committee stipends for student-at-large members

Defend Student Power 
  • Consult with student Senators, the RHA, BIPOC Committee, and Accessibility Committee on developing a Student Bill of Rights at SFU
  • Work with the VP University and Academic Affairs to push SFU for more hybrid courses to give students a choice on what is best for their needs

Greater Council & Student Outreach
  • Hire more communications staff to allow more posts regarding Council meetings and major motions 
  • Work with the Outreach Committee to develop informational videos and infographics about SFSS structure and services

Transparent and Engaged Governance
  • Collaborate with the Outreach committee to hold “State of the Society” Town Halls every semester
  • Improve governance accessibility by live streaming Council meetings
  • Ensure notice of motions are sent to members for more than just policy changes
  • Build on work done on an online SFSS archive that’s accessible to students
We Will Defend Student Power, and Build Solidarity and Community across Campus.
