About Us

President: Jessie Shen

Hello! Welcome! My name is Jessie Shen (she/her) and I am the President of the SFU Science Undergraduate Society. I have been with SUS for my entire Simon Fraser University career, where I am pursuing a Kinesiology degree in the Active Health and Rehabilitation concentration. At first you’ll see that I love jamming to music, playing Ultimate Frisbee, and checking out new cafes around the Lower Mainland. After getting to know me, you’ll come to realize that I tell some mean dad jokes. Some people like it, others hate them. Most people the latter. When it comes to the SUS team, I could not have asked for a better one. They remind me that our goals are never too far-fetched and we are constantly supporting one another through our projects and life’s ups and downs.

VP Academic & Student Affairs: Landy Liu

Hello, my name is Landy and I’m your VP Academic and Student Affairs here at SUS. This year, I plan to host more events in our new common room in the SUB. As the COVID restrictions ease, I will work hard to bring back classic SUS events. Working with science department student unions, I want to promote their events, plan more activities, and help make them more accessible. Feel free to come up to me if you see me in person, I’d be happy to meet you!

VP Communications and Marketing: Hashim Akbar

Hello everyone! I am VP communication and marketing for the SUS. This position, in my eyes, is a very crucial as it has the power to influence the cohesion within the SUS community and also serves as a communicator of events to the student body. Many a time, students are unaware of the events taking place. As the VP for Communications & Marketing I will be giving this position my all. I also feel that I have the perfect skill set for this position as well, and by using them in a more challenging position this is an excellent opportunity for me to grow.

VP Finance: Manan Sood

I am an 4th year student at SFU studying Math and Finance. I have always been passionate about the core finance and my education allows me to explore these fundamentals and gain valuable insights about the financial structures of an institution. My role as VP Finance at the SUS has been a rewarding experience since it has given me the opportunity to be accountable and responsible for myself and others. My goal at SUS is to effectively use our resources, both human and capital, to enrich the university experience of all science students!
