About

Greetings, my fellows,

My name is Fatima Mehdi, and I am a graduate student at Memorial University Newfoundland.

I am highly honoured and delighted to serve as the Executive Director of Campus Life at GSU for 2023-2024.  During my work period, my primary objective is to organize events that will help you in both your career development and recreational activities. I intend to ensure that each student at our university feels at home and comfortable on our campus.  I understand that graduate school can be challenging, but I want to bring opportunities to grow professionally and have fun during your time at the university. I believe that a healthy and well-rounded campus life is essential to academic success and personal growth and development.

I plan to arrange a plethora of programs and events for the upcoming year, and I encourage you to take advantage of them. I will have something for everyone, from sports tournaments to social clubs, volunteering opportunities, and academic support groups with outdoor trips and movie nights. Our campus is a diverse community, and our programs would reflect this diversity.

At Campus Life, the GSU’s goal will be to create an inclusive community where every graduate student feels welcome and supported. I believe that by offering a range of events and activities, we can help you achieve your academic, professional, and personal goals.
