Marilyn Mehrabi

VP Communications

Hi! I'm a Canadian Term 2 student in the School of Medicine MD Program. My favorite part of attending SGU has been making friends from all over the world. Our campus is lively, diverse, and full of students who motivate each other to become great future doctors. I joined SGA to give back to the student body by improving my peer's academic and personal experiences on campus!

David Townsend

SGA President

Hello, Everyone!  My name is David Townsend and I am a Term 5 School of Medicine student and the President of SGA!  I am from Alexandria, Minnesota, which, is a small town in the center of the state.  My wife, Kerri, and I have two boys named Boden (6) and Luke (3).  It has been such an honor to serve our fellow students through such an awesome organization like SGA.  What I truly love about SGU is the willingness of people to help one another during times of struggle.  This was so very apparent during the difficult time of transitioning back to our home countries and to an online academic format due to Covid-19.  The entire SGU community showed such amazing human spirit and fellowship.  I joined student government so that I could be more involved with the decisions that affect SGU, as well as, to become a leader amongst the student body.  SGA has allowed me to do that and so much more.  Looking forward to seeing you all soon!  Best to you!

Jennifer Kirk

President SVM Affairs

Hi everyone! I'm a Term 6 SVM student. I'm from Townsend, MA and am an avid Boston sports fan (GO PATS)! I'm a huge foodie (HIGHLY food-motivated) and my favorite things to do outside of school are working out, reading, and knitting (yes, I'm a Grandma at heart). I actually joined SGA out of spite but it was the best impulse decision I've ever made. The relationships I've made through SGA and SGU have been some of the most impactful on my life and my career. 

Brittney Jarvis

President of SASUA Undergraduate Affairs

Hey everyone! I am from the Isle of Spice, Grenada. I'm a senior student majoring in General Biology from School of Arts & Sciences. When I have spare time, I take advantage of outdoors from the beach, historical sites, hikes, river tubing, etc. I joined SGA to make a difference for SAS students who didn't have a voice to direct issues affecting their learning on cmapus. From there I looked forward to SGA SAS Day whereby new and current students familiarize themselves with SAS organizations and administration departments.

My favorite part about SGU is how incredible it is to study with people from all over the world - which also makes intramural soccer very entertaining! I joined SGA because I know what we do truly makes a difference in solving all types of different issues students may have. SGA also gets to see a more behind-the-scenes view of some of the major events going on at SGU.  

Sigogini Sivarajah

VP of Internal Affairs

Hi! My name is Siggy and I’m a Canadian term 3/4 student in the School of Medicine MD Program. I am a part of the KBT Global Scholars Program and just finished my year in Newcastle. I absolutely loved having the opportunity to study in the UK and being exposed to a different healthcare system. I joined SGA to be able to connect with my colleagues and be able to support them, especially during these times. It’s a tough journey ahead, but we’re in this together. 

Claudia Muller-Moran

I am a T4 School of Medicine student from Winnipeg, Manitoba. My favourite part of SGU was being part of their Keith B. Taylor Global Scholar Program in Newcastle, UK. I joined student government since I thoroughly enjoy helping new and current students create friendships and lasting memories. I love learning different languages, cultures and beliefs. If I could study and keep traveling the world, I would! We for this!
