Psychology Students' Association University of Toronto

Dear all,

Thanks to everyone who ran for the PSA exec positions and voted. It was a very exciting election and we hope that the excitement lasts the whole next year. Those of you who ran and did not win, do not despair. We think that all exec candidates were worthy of the positions and it is unfortunate that not all can be execs. However, you should know that being an exec is not at all a requirement for participating in and working with PSA. There were many non-execs this year that have done a lot of work and deserve our gratitude. PSA has lots that needs to be done, so even if you are not an exec on paper, doesn’t mean that you cannot preform the functions of an exec in actuality. In the end, you are judged by your actions and not whether you were an exec or not. I encourage those that did not win to continue being active PSA members.

Without further ado, here is the list of members of the 2012/2013 PSA executive team:

Executives:

Crystal Liu
Chris Szczechowicz
Donghee Kim
Demi Lee
Ethan Hao Li
Fahmida Kamali
Felicia Zhang
Lucille (Ying Yi) Liang
Nathan Lai
Ruby Cagara
Victoria Marshe

Co-presidents:

Oleh Marianchuk
Alexandr Milovanov

Congratulations to the new PSA execs!

Once again, thank you to all who is actively participating in the PSA community.
With love,

Current PSA Exec team.

All PSA election speeches made by their respective candidates can now be found on the PSA website located under the Elections tab:
