Hi friends! I’m so excited to get to meet you all and serve as your MISA President for the 2021/22 year. The role of President involves chairing MISA meetings, organizing the MIMM Gala (get hyped!!), as well as supporting all other members on council. At the core of the position is the responsibility to represent fellow MIMMers at department and faculty level meetings and representing the MIMM student body within the diverse McGill community. I am also excited to work on events and improve the student council’s role in supporting you. If you see me around, do not hesitate to say hello or send me an email at mira.loock@mail.mcgill.ca.

Hello everyone! I’m glad that we’ve all been (somewhat) released from the Zoom purgatory. It’s my second year as the VP Finance of MISA and I can confidently say that I got the hang of it. Mostly. As the position’s name suggests, I take care of our financial affairs like monthly audits, yearly and event budgets, day-to-day spending, unauthorized flamethrower purchases, cash deposits, payments, withdrawals, fund applications. Basically, I look at Excel sheets, send other people my Excel sheets, and fill out Excel sheets. This year, more than ever, I intend to support our council in their goal to strengthen the MIMM/IHI community through social and academic events, and establishing additional services to our students (check out the MISA Snack Bar).

Hello MIMM! I can’t wait to serve as your VP Academic this year! Aside from running NTCs and organizing academic events, I’m here to make sure everything in you classes this year runs as smoothly as possible. I will be the liaison between the students and the MIMM faculty, so please don’t hesitate to contact me about any academic concerns.

Hey everyone!!! I cannot wait to finally meet you all outside of zoom and am very excited to serve as your VP External this year. My role is to represent MISA to other student and professional bodies outside of the Department. I am an international student who returned to Montreal after more than a year so you might see me in different parts of the campus, struggling to find my way to classes. Feel free to reach out to me in-person or by email/Messenger to discuss or suggest ideas to MISA or rant about your classes. Also, please let me know if you know of any contacts or have any ideas for sponsorship so that we can make our MISA events extra-amazing.

Hey everyone!!! I am super excited to get to finally meet you all this year and serve as your VP of Communications. You will be hearing from me a lot this year as I will be keeping you up to date on all MISA events, sending out weekly Listervs, and working to serve as a channel of communication with the MISA council and MIMM faculty. Please make sure to give our Instagram and Facebook a follow as most of our announcements will go up there and check them regularly. Also, make sure to check out our website!! Can’t wait to meet you all.

Hey guys! I’m excited to be your VP Social this year and to work with council in organizing some of the best events possible.

The role of VP sustainability is multifaceted with tasks from raising funds for charities, working on new green initiatives in the department, and ensuring that the main principles of EDI are followed within MISA. Having been on council for three years now, you can reach out to me for any types of questions and I will be happy to answer. If you have any EDI concerns of sustainability proposals, make sure to contact me!
