We are Hyago S.M., an advocate for equity and sustainability, and Pranay Ratan, a champion for financial transparency and digital transformation. Together, we bring years of SFSS experience, student engagement, and leadership to build an SFSS that is transparent, sustainable, and student-driven.

Think of us as the Chandler and Joey of SFU politics—except instead of lounging at Central Perk, we're fixing SFSS finances, empowering clubs, and driving real change.

Our Collective Goals

🔹 A Stronger, More Accountable SFSS

• Mandatory Financial Audits – Ensure full transparency with quarterly public reports on SFSS spending.
• Participatory Budgeting – Give students a direct say in where their fees go.
• The SFSS Golden Rule – Inspired by Brazil’s Regra de Ouro, we’ll cap unnecessary expenses and focus spending on students.

🔹 Digital Innovation & Transparency

• SFSS App – A centralized hub for SFSS services, budgets, events, and club resources.
• Thriftopia – Student Marketplace – Buy, sell, and exchange items sustainably and affordably.
• Real-Time Budget Dashboard – Track where your student fees are going.

🔹 Club & Student Union Empowerment

• More Funding & Sponsorships – Secure stronger financial support for clubs & DSUs.
• Reduced Bureaucracy – Simplify club creation & reimbursement processes.
• Club Collaboration Fund – Encourage joint events and networking between student groups.

🔹 Sustainability & Campus Life

• Annual Earth Festival – A large-scale event combining sustainability, policy, and activism.
• Push for SFU Divestment – Remove SFSS money from unethical investments and promote sustainable funding.
• Public Transport Advocacy – Support better student transit options, including the TransLink Gondola.
