I delighted to be serving as Vice-Chair of the 快播视频 School of Public Policy and Administration Alumni Network (YUSPPAAN). I like to say that I was born and raised at York, having completed my Bachelor\u2019s Degree (iBA&nbsp;in International Studies\/Political Science), the MPPAL in 2023 and working for 快播视频 for a number of years. Currently, I am a Programs Advisor for the newly formed Indigenous Services Division at Legal Aid Ontario, helping bring to life their plan to better provide access to justice for Indigenous clients in Ontario. Before working at Legal Aid Ontario, I coordinated community projects at 快播视频\u2019s TD Community Engagement Centre, running the Catalyst Grant and developing partnerships to increase access to post-secondary education in the Jane Finch community. I also spent several years in global education, launching award-winning initiatives and securing major federal funding for international learning programs for 快播视频. The community at York has brought me the knowledge, skills, connections, and confidence to implement innovative and impactful change throughout my career. I\u2019m looking forward to my role in YUSPPAAN to continue to nurture this amazing community and help propel others towards their goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/sppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/215\/2025\/08\/Gurkamal-Dhahan-550x550-1.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of Gurkamal Dhahan\" class=\"wp-image-366396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/sppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/215\/2025\/08\/Gurkamal-Dhahan-550x550-1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/sppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/215\/2025\/08\/Gurkamal-Dhahan-550x550-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/sppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/215\/2025\/08\/Gurkamal-Dhahan-550x550-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<style>.kt-accordion-id173671_396d38-13 .kt-accordion-inner-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:8px;}.kt-accordion-id173671_396d38-13 .kt-accordion-panel-inner{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.kt-accordion-id173671_396d38-13 .wp-block-kadence-pane .kt-accordion-header-wrap .kt-blocks-accordion-header{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kt-accordion-id173671_396d38-13 .kt-accordion-inner-wrap{display:block;}.kt-accordion-id173671_396d38-13 .kt-accordion-inner-wrap .kt-accordion-pane:not(:first-child){margin-top:8px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-accordion alignnone\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-wrap kt-accordion-id173671_396d38-13 kt-accordion-has-6-panes kt-active-pane-0 kt-accordion-block kt-pane-header-alignment-left kt-accodion-icon-style-arrow kt-accodion-icon-side-right\" style=\"max-width:none\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-inner-wrap\" data-allow-multiple-open=\"false\" data-start-open=\"none\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-8 kt-pane173671_70cc69-ba\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">Gurkamal Dhahan - Director of Finance <\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p>Gurkamal is currently Director of Finance at YUSPPAAN.

My name is Jade Williams. I am the new Vice-Chair of the 快播视频 School of Public Policy &amp; Administration Alumni Network (YUSPAAN). This is my second time around on this wonderful team and I am excited for the year ahead of us! YUSPPAAN has gained notoriety over the years in being a great network for organizing relationship building events and mentorship workshops. I would consider myself more than&nbsp;honoured&nbsp;to continue this wonderful trend that has been established. Being a fellow yorkie myself, I understand how important it is to connect past and present students together as it creates the possibility to build meaningful connections and if lucky establish a second home. My first experience in the public sector came in the year 2020 when I became a vaccine representative for the Ontario Health government. What a year that was. It was of course accompanied with the challenges that came with Covid-19. Being in that environment really displayed to me how much people yearned for the opportunity to communicate with other and how we collectively as a society struggled once that opportunity was taken away. This is a lesson learned that we will not forget. Fast-forwarding to the future, I took on more client engaging roles such as being the Event Coordinator for the Business Improvement Area of Cityplace\/Fort York, to my current role as a mortgage specialist with First National. I now understand how essential it is to create communication avenues and to foster growth in relationships once they are built. I plan to do my best to bring this knowledge and experience to YUSPPAAN.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/sppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/215\/2025\/08\/Aymen-Afzal-550x550-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-366379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/sppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/215\/2025\/08\/Aymen-Afzal-550x550-1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/sppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/215\/2025\/08\/Aymen-Afzal-550x550-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/laps\/sppa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/215\/2025\/08\/Aymen-Afzal-550x550-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<style>.kt-accordion-id173671_0307c9-33 .kt-accordion-inner-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:8px;}.kt-accordion-id173671_0307c9-33 .kt-accordion-panel-inner{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.kt-accordion-id173671_0307c9-33 .wp-block-kadence-pane .kt-accordion-header-wrap .kt-blocks-accordion-header{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kt-accordion-id173671_0307c9-33 .kt-accordion-inner-wrap{display:block;}.kt-accordion-id173671_0307c9-33 .kt-accordion-inner-wrap .kt-accordion-pane:not(:first-child){margin-top:8px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-accordion alignnone\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-wrap kt-accordion-id173671_0307c9-33 kt-accordion-has-6-panes kt-active-pane-0 kt-accordion-block kt-pane-header-alignment-left kt-accodion-icon-style-arrow kt-accodion-icon-side-right\" style=\"max-width:none\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-inner-wrap\" data-allow-multiple-open=\"false\" data-start-open=\"none\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-6 kt-pane173671_a49fe0-ec\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">Aymen Afzal - Director of Memberships and Partnerships  <\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p>I currently serve as the Director of Memberships and Partnerships for the 快播视频 School of Public Policy &amp; Administration Alumni Network (YUSPPAAN).

The School of Public Policy and Administration (SPPA) provided me with so many wonderful opportunities during my undergrad years, with the many great networking events to participate in that helped me build my professional network, and the wide selection of experiential learning courses that helped prepare me for the work world, such as the Practicum in Public Administration and Program Evaluation. I credit the SPPA for helping prepare me for the workplace, where I have worked at 快播视频 for the past three years at the Bridging Program for Internationally Educated Professionals. I currently work for the program as a Student and Alumni Coordinator, where I have been directly supporting the students of our Foundation Program with both academic and career support. I am excited to participate in SPPA\u2019s alumni network to give back to the community that was such a vital part in preparing me for my career journey.
