Akshra Khanna Arts & Science Representative
I am a 20-year-old psychology major passionate about human behaviour, communication, and student well-being. As an international student, I understand the challenges of adapting to new environments and I value inclusivity, resilience, and community.
With over two years at the University of Lethbridge, I have firsthand experience with student concerns. My customer service background and leadership role in high school student council have strengthened my problem-solving, advocacy, and communication skills.
If elected, I will work to increase student exposure, introduce practical workshops, and advocate for in-field experiences such as internships and research opportunities. My goal is to bridge gaps between students and faculty, ensuring Arts & Science students feel supported, heard, and empowered in their academic journey. Let’s build a faculty where ideas thrive, and every student finds their place. Vote for Akshra Khanna! Voting period starts: March 4 to March 7.
