Alex Chen is a passionate political science graduate student at the University of Waterloo, who has become increasingly frustrated with the lack of genuine student representation in decision-making committees. Known for their strong advocacy for transparency and fairness within the university, Alex often organizes forums and discussions to amplify the voices of their peers, believing that meaningful change requires active participation rather than mere tokenism. They balance their studies with a part-time job in a community organization, where they focus on civic engagement initiatives.
