Hey! My name is Kai, I’m a third year Political Science major with a double minor in Business Management and Economics. As a political science student, I’m particularly interested in how to make public policy work to protect our planet and our people; leading me to do two internships in clean energy policy development with the Clean Foundation and the Government of Nova Scotia in my hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Feel free to reach out to me at sustainability@ssmu.ca— I’d love to hear your thoughts on sustainability at McGill and how SSMU can advance sustainable practices for the student body.
