Meet the Team

Alexia

President

Hey everyone! I’m Alexia (she/her) and the President of the Aerospace Course Union this year! In previous years, I’ve been a first year representative, a second year representative, and VP Education of ACU. At this point I’m just trying to collect as many positions as possible before graduating. I’m currently in my third year of aerospace and pursuing the aircraft stream. Some fun things about me are that I enjoy rewatching movies and tv shows an unhealthy amount of times, and I love anything to do with weather or natural disasters. Feel free to contact me on any of my socials below to ask questions or mention any concerns. I’m very excited to be a part of the team again and can’t wait to see what this school year brings!

Shayaan

VP Operations

Hi TMU! My name is Shayaan (he/him) and I’m your ACU VP Operations for this year. I’m going into my third year of aero and depending on how this ages, will be going into the aircraft stream. Although I’m new to the team, I’m largely passionate about repping my community, so I’m extremely excited to pump out aero merch for y’all all year long. Other than that, I like lifting and gaming here and there. Anyway, if you have any questions, concerns, or even merch you’d like to see, feel free to contact me through any of the below platforms. Cheers!
