AMS Executive Candidates
Hello Queen s,
We are Team RTZ and we are vying for your vote to be elected as the Executive for the Alma Mater Society. Respectively, we have worked in various branches of student involvement since the beginning of our time at Queen’s. With our vast experience, we believe we have what it takes to significantly improve the Alma Mater Society.
We are honest, and we promise to speak candidly to you. Unlike many candidates in the past, our motives for running as Executive of the AMS stem from shared frustration over the inaction of the AMS this year. Over the past few years, student government at Queen’s has faced many challenges. Although we have many students to thank for leading us throughout the years, persistent failures and issues prevail within the Alma Mater Society.

Should they be elected next year’s AMS executive, Team TIA has plans to improve accessibility at Queen’s.
Presidential candidate Isaac Sahota, ArtSci ’22, Vice-Presidential (Operations) candidate Tabassum Pasha, Comm ’21, and Vice-Presidential (University Affairs) candidate Amelia Cockerham, ArtSci ’22, secured their candidacy as Team TIA last week.
In an interview with
The Journal, Sahota said he’s running for the Presidential position to improve accessibility at Queen’s. He said he’s faced struggles with accessibility at the University in the past particularly during orientation week.
“That was my experience that made me even think about, maybe this is not for me,” he said. “I might have to go back and drop the idea of studying at a university because I’m in a wheelchair now and it’s not accessible enough.”
