2020-2021 Board

2020-2021 BASSA Executive Members:

President: Haley Green

My name is Haley Green, and I am this year’s BASSA President! I am a fourth-year BAS student, specializing in Biology and Marketing, and this is my third year on BASSA.  I am from Toronto, but in Guelph I really feel at home! As an avid collector of houseplants and rescued animals I am most likely to be spotted at local plant nurseries  and pet stores. My favourite spots on campus have to be the Bullring (you NEED to try the tofu wrap!) and the 3rd floor of the library.  I am so excited to be your president this year and I look forward to working with the rest of the awesome BASSA team! Please feel free to shoot me an email at hgreen01@uoguelph.ca if you have any questions or just want to chat 😊

Hey everyone, my name is Zara and I am your VP of finance and administration this year! I am going both into my fourth year in the program and on BASSA so I would truly consider myself to know the ropes if any of you guys ever have any questions. Currently I am studying psychology and biology and I’m hoping to get into counseling after my undergrad. I know Covid-19 has really put a wedge in all of our plans this year but I’m hoping that we can still have a wonderful year getting to know each other and celebrating that ASCI pride ✨

Vice President of Activities and Events: Brynn Williams

Hi! My name is Brynn Williams, I’m the VP of Activities for BASSA this school year! I’m  a fourth-year studying philosophy and biology, hoping to explore evolutionary biology and ethics in the future! You can probably find me getting into debates about politics, playing D&D, or obsessing over my cats! I also went abroad to Scotland last fall, so feel free to shoot me a message if you’re considering going abroad! Even though we all are in different places, I’m so excited to get to know you all through our events and to hopefully make this online year a little more fun! If you ever want to chat, feel free to email me at bwilli15@uoguelph.ca! ☺️

Vice President of Communications: Malik Yagubi

Hey there friends! My name is Malik and I am your VP of Communications on BASSA for the 2020-2021 school year. I am in my second year of studies, specializing in Business, Mathematics, and Human Resources. This is my second year on BASSA, and I look forward to making more connections with students within the BAS program. I am also an Online Community Mentor for first-year Marketing Management students in Gryphons Nest. When feeling inspired, I love creating through videography and photography. Other than that, I just enjoy a good time socializing with new and familiar faces. If you ever have questions, never hesitate to reach out to me and ask ⭐️

Vice President of Academics: Katie Kang

Hi everyone, my name is Katie, and I’m your vice president of academics this year. I’m entering my 3rd year, and my two specializations are Neuroscience and Psychology. My hobbies include singing, staying active and winding down with my favourite book and a glass of wine. I’ve always loved providing academic support to anyone in need because as a student myself, I understand how important peer support is for success. Although we won’t be on campus in the near future, if you have any questions or are in need of advice feel free to hit me up 🤍

2020-2021 BASSA Board Members:

First Year Representative: Rachel Young

Hi! My name is Rachael Young and I’m first year rep on BASSA this year. I’m specializing in vocal music and biochemistry. I’m from Flamborough, but I’ve gone to school in Guelph my entire life. I play cello and French horn and I am a lifeguard. I also love spending time with my animals, especially my goats! I know it’s been challenging for first years to start university this year, but I can’t wait to get to know everyone virtually and make the most of it! Feel free to email me if you have any questions or just want to chat ryoung13@uoguelph.ca ☀️

Second Year Representative: Sabrina Capolongo

Hi, my name is Sabrina Capolongo, I am the 2nd Year Representative for BASSA, and I am so excited to start off this school year! I am in second year, hoping to specialize in Psychology, Molecular Biology and CJPP. If I am not putting my head into the books, I am either hiking, eating food, watching Netflix, or trying to find a dog to pet. As you can tell, I am a huge animal lover! I admire helping people out with whatever it may be; if you ever need advice, information, or simply want a friend to talk to, I am there! Even though we cannot meet in person due to COVID-19, I am so excited to get to know everyone virtually through the many BASSA events we have planned this year! If you ever need anything, do not hesitate to email me! @scapolon@uoguelph.ca 🎀

Third Year Representative: Rowena Hetherington-Wilson

Hey everyone, I’m Rowena Hetherington-Wilson and I’m the third-year rep. My BAS minors are Music and GIS & Environmental Analysis and I am in my third year. I have lived in Guelph my whole life so one of my favorite things is to get coffee downtown. If you’re in Guelph this year I would highly recommend checking out downtown. If I’m out of my house, you’ll probably find me grabbing coffee at Planet Bean or Red Brick and then spending time in nature. I love being outside hiking or relaxing! Outside of school I teach piano (online this fall) and love working with kids. I can’t wait to get to know you all this year and enjoy the adventures of being an Arts and Science student in our new remote world 💫

Fourth Year Representative: Anna Rosen

Hi friends, I’m Anna and I’m your 4th Year rep for 2020-2021! This is my third year on BASSA and I’m so excited to be our year’s rep again. My specializations are International Development and Ecology, so we’ll see where that goes – hopefully something with a positive impact! I’m from Toronto but I love exploring all Guelph has to offer like its beautiful parks so if you have any cool spots to recommend lmk! Besides studying, I spend most of my time watching Netflix/prime/crave (Brooklyn99 and Sense8 are my current faves), FaceTiming my dogs, and just hanging out with my roommates. These are definitely strange times but if y’all ever have any Qs or you’re just bored email me at arosen01@uoguelph.ca 🌟
