Today, Zamir is the first openly LGBTQ2+Â University Students Council president-elect.Â
Zamirâs journey in student politics began when he joined the Social Science Students  Council while searching for a sense of community after switching into the faculty. The following year, he became a USC councillor and is currently the SSSC president.
âItâs a privilege to be honest â I am hopeful that in the past 57 years we have had other queer leaders at the forefront of the USC. But the fact that Western and [Huron University College, Brescia University College and King s University College] have embraced me for who I am and have wanted to elect me because of my lived experiences and how that informs my approach to policy is something Iâm forever thankful for,â says Zamir.
