Hasan Rana 2026 BUSU Board of Director Hasan Rana

Hi everyone, my name is Hasan and I’m finished my fourth year at Brock for the Medical Sciences program. I ran for the board because I want to help create a stronger, more supportive student experience at Brock. As a student, I understand the challenges many students face balancing academics, finances, mental health, and career uncertainty. I want to ensure students feel heard and represented, and that their concerns lead to meaningful action. My goal is to help make the student experience more inclusive, engaging, and rewarding for everyone. I hope to advocate for greater student support, increased opportunities for involvement, and stronger connections between students and the university community.
