Hey Wolfpack! My name is Armaan Kotadia (he/him), and I have the immense privilege of being your elected BHSS Chair for the 2023-2024 school year! In my role, I help advocate for student needs by working as a liaison between students, the BHSS executive team, the BHSc Office, and the Faculty of Health Sciences. Alongside helping oversee all operations of the BHSS, I also collaborate with other society presidents to create and implement initiatives that enhance our academic and social environments. This year I have successfully launched a partnership with a local organization to save used lab coats from entering landfills by collecting and redistributing them at no cost to incoming BHSc students. As well as helping to launch the BHSS Community Catalyst Fund for student initiatives and the BHSS Community Engagement Recognition Scholarship. If you have any questions, feedback, or ideas please reach out to me by email (bhsschr@mcmaster.ca)! I would love to find a time to chat!
