Candidates - By Election Spring 2026

3 key points

1. Experience working directly with Indigenous communities in Northern Quebec on community-based health equity initiatives
2. Known for creating collaborative spaces where quieter voices feel comfortable speaking and contributing honestly
3. Bring a reflective and people-centered approach to difficult discussions, valuing nuance, context, and understanding over quick conclusions

Hi, my name is Angie Moshutz, and I am a Med-2 student at McGill with strong interests in peer mentorship, community engagement, and equitable healthcare.

Being spoken over or dismissed can leave people feeling small and unheard, no matter the setting. I think one of the worst feelings is leaving a conversation feeling like nobody genuinely tried to understand where you were coming from. Through mentorship, student involvement, and my experiences travelling to Indigenous communities in Northern Quebec, I have learned how important it is to approach people with listening, empathy, and context rather than assumptions.

I care a lot about group dynamics and making sure people feel comfortable contributing honestly. I like to think things through carefully, ask questions, and have thoughtful discussions rather than jumping to rapid-fire conclusions. I think it is important that committee discussions leave room for nuance, because students are more than a single exam, moment, or difficult period. I believe every student reviewed by the committee, regardless of the situation, deserves to feel heard and deserves to have people in the room who understand the current realities and pressures of medical student life.

I believe I would bring a calm, reflective, and balanced perspective to the SPC. I value professionalism and confidentiality deeply, but I also think compassion and careful listening are essential when discussing decisions that can have a major impact on someone’s life and training.

3 key points

1. Modern and developed perspective on the student experience.
2. Proven discretion managing sensitive, confidential disclosures.
3. Appreciation for academic rigour balanced with student context.

Hi! My name is Luc Wilson, and I’m interested in serving as a Student Promotion Committee (SPC) representative during my Med 3 year. Having studied at McGill for nearly a decade, I’ve experienced this institution as both a young student and a maturing adult. As the first in my family to pursue medicine, I’ve navigated the complexities of balancing academics, research, personal commitments, and individual growth firsthand.

Along the way, I’ve witnessed many incredible accomplishments by our colleagues both inside and (especially) outside the classroom. Whether starting families, managing professional projects, or attaining personal milestones, our experiences reinforce the reality that medical school does not occur in a vacuum. Though we all attain the same core competencies, our paths toward balance are both dynamic and individual. I hold a deep respect for the rigours of our curriculum and believe that a nuanced understanding of these various student contexts is essential to a fair and modern promotion process.

My background prepares me to provide this context objectively. Through five years on the WALKSAFE executive committee, including three years managing confidential disclosures, I am deeply practiced in maintaining a reliable, unbiased, and discreet perspective when assessing sensitive information.

I want to bring a broad, objective student lens to the SPC, providing the committee with a grounded understanding of the contemporary student experience. I am comfortable balancing empathy with the high professional standards of our faculty, and I would be honoured to contribute this perspective as a representative of our student body.

3 key points

1. I have regular involvement in class and cohort activities, with open communication and strong connections across the Class of 2029 that help me understand and contextualize student experiences accurately. I’m always present in class/activities and have dialogue with many students regardless of their background. I believe this allows me to accurately put forward a picture of our cohort and be a good SPC rep. 
2. Previous experience in student representation roles in various councils with a strong understanding of how to bring forward the perspectives of a diverse cohort in a fair and balanced way.
3. Genuinely committed to serving the cohort by providing thoughtful, broad student perspective while maintaining professionalism, confidentiality, and collaboration. I would love to serve as the SPC Rep for the Class of 2029 and make sure my voice is a direct representation of all of ours; knowing that anyone can always come up to me and share their perspective. 

I’m Mahan Mansoor and I believe that I’d make a great SPC Rep due to past experience/roles held, a genuine passion for representation of the cohort, and my regular presence in cohort activities.

First of all, I’ve held representation roles at previous institutions. This role requires you to bring the perspective of the entire cohort forward; for this you need a genuine understanding of the views of our diverse class. I am always present in class and other activities and I have open dialogue with many members of the cohort, which I believe would allow me to accurately grasp the issues we need representation on and bring an accurate context forward on any topic with regards to the Class of 2029’s needs.

I am genuinely interested in acting as a representative and would love the opportunity to be this year’s SPC Rep. I understand this role is purely made to put forward our cohort’s experiences and I know I would be a good fit.
