Kate Brown Arts & Science Representative
Oki and Hello Everyone!
My name is Kate Brown and I am running for Arts and Science Representative in the 2025 General Election. I am a second-year Biological Sciences student in pursuit of a career in optometry. Before I get into my initiatives and perception of the position I am running for, I want to tell you a bit about myself. I was born and raised in the Crowsnest Pass which is an hour and a half West from Lethbridge. I love being outdoors and enjoying hiking, backpacking, and I’m an amateur rock climber. I am a Rotaract club member, as a member I volunteer with organizations around the university and the community. Last December, I helped organize Cards for the Elderly and a Clothing Drive for UofL students. I also enjoy volunteering with Let’s Talk Science on occasion. Outside of the University, I love crocheting, reading, and baking.
I decided to run to be a part of the Students’ Union because I want to serve as the voice for students and listen to students' concerns. As a General Assembly member, I will advocate for UofL students, help organize events on campus, and collaborate with other members of the Students’ Union. If I am elected I will ensure a future where every student can succeed academically, socially, and mentally. Through collaboration, I will advocate for students' mental health and continue to host events that create a tight knit community on campus.

What are some of the initiatives you would like to implement if you are elected?
Mental Health Support
I plan to continue to prioritise students’ mental health by expanding resources and creating a culture of care and understanding on campus. I will advocate for and collaborate with other SU members to increase the mental health resources to students, such as, increasing the accessibility to on-campus counsellors. I will continue to collaborate and throw events to reduce the stigma and educate students on early-signs of anxiety, depression, and stress.
Student Engagement
I will create a close-knit community on campus by increasing student involvement and participation. I will collaborate to host a variety of events that cater to diverse interests and backgrounds. I will listen to students and what events they want on campus, this will increase student engagement and participation. I will encourage and facilitate opportunities for students to get involved within the Lethbridge community. Volunteering and community service increases overall wellbeing and creates a sense of belonging and accomplishment.
I ensure the creation of a close-knit campus community and a culture of care and understanding at the University of Lethbridge. I will work together with other SU members to increase student engagement and advocate for the mental health of students.
