Noha Farawi
Noha Farawi is a third-year criminology specialist student who has volunteered as a food bank coordinator for the UTMSU, where she had the opportunity to speak with many UTM students. Through these conversations she has learned how prevalent food insecurity is on the campus, and she feels that this is not talked about enough.
Farawi’s priorities include relaunching the United for Equity campaign, which looks to challenge discrimination and oppression on campus. She feels that the campaign has lost momentum this year, so she would bring it back and try to make it better. She also hopes to create a sustainability and climate justice action plan that’s specific to the UTM, and to improve the food bank by providing students with more nutritious food. Further, she plans to revamp the campus food garden.
Farawi hopes to spread the message across campus that the Student Centre is a safe space for students, especially for those who may be food insecure or who have experienced discrimination of any kind.
