2025 candidates

Blake Atkins

Hi Bondies! I’m Blake Atkins, your current Inclusion Director, and I have nominated for President of the Bond University Student Association. Whether you’re from Robina, Toronto, or anywhere in between, you deserve a welcoming and fair experience at Bond. This past year, I’ve worked to support the BIHS campus and make Bond a more vibrant place for all students. But this work is not finished. With your support, we can continue strengthening student life together by developing BUSA’s initiatives and ensuring everyone succeeds, feels supported, and enjoys their experience. Thank you for your ongoing trust. Talk soon, Blake.

Nishan Singh

Hey Bondies! I am running to be your BUSA President. Over the past year, as your VP of Recreation, I have shaped campus life through unforgettable O-Weeks, parties like the Mid Sem Bash and End of Sem Bash, and now co-convening Bondstock 2025, which will be the biggest week of the year. I have worked hard to create events that unite us and celebrate what makes Bond so unique. As President, I will deliver stronger advocacy, bigger opportunities, and a campus experience every Bondie can be proud of. Let’s make 2025/2026 bold, exciting, and unforgettable together.

Kavya Acharya

I am a biomedical student who cares about making sure all students, from every cohort and both campuses, feel included and connected. I believe working together is the key to success, and I bring a calm and thoughtful approach to everything I do. I enjoy communicating with people, building real relationships, and helping teams achieve their goals. I like finding practical solutions and creating opportunities that bring people together. Bond’s strong community has helped me grow and feel supported, and I want every student to have that same experience. I look forward to giving back to our Bond family.

Elizabeth Maynard

I’m Lizzie, a Bachelor of Business student majoring in Marketing. I am running for the BUSA President role because I genuinely care about student experience, turning ideas into action, and helping everyone make the most of their time at Bond. I have worked across many teams, led projects, and always do what it takes to get things done. I am bubbly, approachable, reliable and a voice that will always advocate for you. Thank you for your consideration!

for Secretary 

Ashley McCLelland

My name is Ashley, and I am a second-year Law and Journalism student. I have previously served a term on BUSA as Arts Director and am passionate about serving the study body in this format. I believe that I have gained valuable skills from this role, that will enable me to perform the role of secretary with knowledge and efficiency. As Arts Director I was chair of the BARTs sub-committee and have experience in an executive role. I think these assets will make me a valuable team member of the 253 committee.

for Treasurer

Keerat Sidhu

Hey Bondies! Last year, you trusted me as your BUSA Treasurer, and together we delivered the biggest events on campus – Bondstock, O-Week, Club Sign-On Day, Wellness Week, and the End-of-Semester Bash. I make sure every dollar works harder for you — from supporting 70+ clubs and societies to creating an unforgettable student experience. I’m running again to make 2025/2026 even bigger, better, and bolder. Thank you for your continued vote of confidence!
