Biography

Hi there, my name is Caroline Wong and I am your VP Administration.  I am a third year student in the Faculty of Arts planning to major in International Relations.  Starting in my first year at UBC, I dove head first into student government serving as First Year Representative, AMS Representative and VP External of the Arts Undergraduate Society.  I found endless opportunities in the AUS and AMS to improve student life, address student concerns and fuel my passion for helping others.

I am honoured to be given the opportunity to serve as your VP Administration.  I will work towards keeping the New SUB Project on time and within budget, streamlining the Student Administrative Commission processes and improving the club experience, finding a long term solution for the Whistler Lodge and creating a more interactive Art Gallery. As well, one of the goals during my term is to connect with as many of our clubs as possible.  I enjoy meeting new people and immersing myself in the wide variety of student activities on campus. If you represent a club or student group on campus, or if you have a question or concern regarding the AMS or a student related issue, feel free to drop by my office in SUB 238G, give me a call at (604) 822-3961 or send me an email at vpadmin@ams.ubc.ca.  My door is open to everyone and I look forward to meeting you!
