GSA President
Hi, I’m Eric and I am honoured to serve as President of the Brock University Graduate Students’ Association for the 2026–2027 term. I am a final-year PhD candidate in Applied Health Sciences, where my research explores the anticancer effects of the plant-derived compound carnosic acid against non-small cell lung cancer, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying those effects. I have been involved with the GSA for several years, including five terms on the Board of Directors and three as Board Chair, and have served on a number of Brock University Senate committees. This experience has given me a clear picture of both the opportunities and the limits of student advocacy at the institutional level. The current funding environment facing universities presents real challenges for graduate students, and a key priority for this term will be ensuring the GSA is responsive to those pressures — whether that means finding ways to fill gaps in available supports or working alongside the university to advocate for better funding from provincial and federal governments. My focus is straightforward: listen to what students need and get it done.
