Hey UBC Arts Community! My name is Fatima Rua (she/her) and I am so honoured to be your 2022-2023 AUS President! I am an incoming fourth year student majoring in Honours Political Science with a minor in Law and Society. Some of my favourite things lately are walking my dog, going on spontaneous trips with friends, and listening to Harry Styles’ new album on repeat! Joining the AUS has been a highlight of my university experience. I have met some of my closest friends from the AUS, and wish to continue enriching Arts students’ experiences while at UBC. This being my third and final year on the AUS before graduation, I am so unbelievably excited for this upcoming year!

I am a fourth year student in Political Science and this will be my third year in the AUS where I’ve found meaningful connections and gained a lot of wonderful experiences. if I’m not busy on my campus involvements, I am usually at Browns destroying a Chain Famous tower with my friends or I am somewhere along Robson shopping, getting boba, yelling at karaoke or restaurant-hopping. If you’d like to chat, feel free to send me an email or DM me on IG @iancaguiat. FYI, my big three signs are Virgo sun, Leo moon and Sagittarius rising! #livelaughlove #timeisgold #justkeepswiming
Hello UBC Arts! My name is Emma Martin-Rousselle (she/her) and I’m in second year, studying in the B+MM program and hoping to major in Sociology.

Hey UBC Arts Community! My name is Lara Yacoub and I am super excited to be your VP Student Life this year! I am an incoming 4th year student majoring in International Relations. Outside of school and AUS, I can usually be found laying out on the Nest field listening to a podcast (when its sunny), getting bubble tea and pho with friends, or attempting to do pottery. This is my second year working with the AUS, and honestly, it has been one of the best parts of my university experience.

Hi UBC Arts! My name is Audrey (she/her) and I’m a third year student majoring in Political Science and International relations (hopefully). If I’m not studying, you can find me hanging out in the ASC, exploring Vancouver with my friends, or napping. The AUS has also played a central role in shaping my UBC experience. Being part of the AUS in the External and First-Year Portfolio over the past two years has given me the opportunity to fall in love with the arts community. This year, I’m also your 2022-2023 Chief AMS rep. This means I get to act as the bridge between the AMS and AUS. I’d love to hear from you so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or just to chat!
