VOTE VANESSA FOR CUS PRESIDENT

"Having worked with Vanessa in the past and personally witnessed her contagious passion and relentless hardwork and leadership, I wholeheartedly endorse her as an outstanding candidate for the CUS President of 2015-16. Her ability to initiate projects and tackle problems head-on while still being extremely approachable and charismatic are all key components of a successful CUS president and there is no one else I can see creating and sustaining the long-term change that the CUS needs in the upcoming years." 

-- Ben Chen, VP Marketing 2013/2014, Commerce Undergraduate Society

 

"Vanessa is one of the most committed and dedicated people I know on the CUS! One of the hardest working individuals I know who only wants what's best for the students."

-- Alex Lee, 2nd Year Representative, Commerce Undergraduate Society

 

 

 

 

 

"Vanessa was a great collaborator in our times in the Brand Management Mentorship Program and also during our times working together in a variety of marketing courses. Her motivation, passion and results-driven mentality in life has resulted in her being a great friend, colleague and inspiration for me personally.

I absolutely have no doubt that Vanessa will be a stellar President of the CUS, and believe that her significant experiences with student associations and internships will only add value to the student body here at the Sauder School of Business."

-- Joshua YH Wong, Co-President, UBC Marketing Association

 

"Literally the hardest working and the most deserving person for CUS President! Being on the Board and seeing all the work she's done towards the community is exactly the change we need! Good Luck and Vote VANESSAAAA!"

-- Christoph er Rey, 2nd Year Representative, Commerce Undergraduate Society

 

 

 

 

"A year ago Vanessa gave myself and Brandon Kothe the opportunity to be first year representatives for UBC's Business Communications Club ( Bizzcomm) and we both had an amazing experience watching her innovate and grow the club. As a president, Vanessa worked tirelessly and stopped at nothing to ensure Bizzcomm was the CUS Club of the Year for a second consecutive year. Surely enough, she succeeded. Both Brandon and I continue to emulate Vanessa's work ethic and passion for success. Vanessa is not only the most qualified, but also the most deserving candidate to be our upcoming president."

-- Olya Kubliy, Co-President, UBC Business Communications Club

  

"I had the pleasure of interning with Vanessa last summer at Coca-Cola and can fully vouch for her ability to take the initiative, tackle problems, and most of all drive change. Having personally witnessed her work ethic and passion in everything she does, I have no hesitation in voting for her as the next CUS President!"

-- Sharon Shi, VP Marketing Sauder Summit

 

 

 

"I've had the pleasure of knowing Vanessa since the summer before first year. Since then, she's grown into an amazing person and continues to amaze me each day. If you want to see the definition of impossible then you're looking at her. Everything she's done, she's achieved through hard work and perseverance. She exemplifies the motto of "work hard; play hard" and I know for fact she'll do the exact same for the CUS. Vanessa is an outstanding individual, an incredible inspiration, and the only person I could see being CUS President."

-- Adrian Francis, VP Logistics, Sauder Social Committee

 

"As the Editors-in-Chief of the Cavalier, Stephen Ilagan and I have had the pleasure to work with Vanessa Lau on creating and rebranding the newspaper for Sauder each month.

From providing support, to believing in us, her drive is something that is truly admirable."

-- Linette Ho, Corporate Relations Co-Director, Commerce Undergraduate Society; Editor-in-Chief, The Cavalier

 

 

 

"Vanessa was my group leader for the HKSA-BizzComm Ice Breaker Event on Move In Day, which was my first real introduction to UBC. Through getting to know her and learning more about what she's done, I was truly inspired by what I could make my own UBC journey turn into.

I'm sure her infectious ambition and long list of achievements has inspired others and will continue to do so into the future. While I may not be a Sauder student, I highly encourage you to vote for her as I'm sure she'll bring about amazing change!"

-- Nika Moeini, Director of Alumnae and Parent Relations, Alpha Phi International Fraternity; First Year Representative, UBC Arts Undergraduate Society

 

"She broke my heart once but I would still endorse her with no hesitation. Her leadership + work ethic are unparalleled. Her chin is sharp but her insight is sharper."

-- Jason Kim, Ubyssey President 

 

 

 

 

 

"I got a great opportunity to work with Vanessa this year as chair of the Sauder Squad! Being a TLOG major, I wasn't that great at marketing stuff, but Vanessa always had faith in me and pushed me to do better even if I didn't think I could. From our first conversation, she believed in me and that's never changed. 
She's someone who knows how to get stuff done, and is still a friend to the people she works with, which makes me certain she will understand our concerns and take action to make Sauder better."

-- Ameera Ladak, Chair, Sauder Squad; Vice-President, Logistics, P.O.I.T.S.

 

"As Vanessa's best friend, I must say that one of the many qualities I love about her is her ability to listen. Not only does she give you her undivided attention when you talk to her but she also puts herself in your shoes. Her tendency to always try to understand where you are coming from is very rare from someone who is as busy as her! Knowing her for 8 years now, I also witnessed how hardworking and committed she is to each project she has taken on. Her drive pushes her to go above and beyond even through the most stressful and roughest times. Her modesty is moreover very refreshing as we live in such a competitive world today. But most importantly, it is her laughter and humor that will always put a smile on your face! So, vote for this beautiful creature!!!!"

-- Kelly Chiu, Vanessa's Best Friend

 

"Vote for my daughter!"

-- Vincent Lau, Vanessa's Dad

 

"I wish every decision was as easy as voting for Vanessa in the upcoming election! But seriously though, it would be so nice knowing that when I leave Sauder at the end of the year, I will be leaving it in the capable hands of VLau. You continue to amaze me with your dedication, passion and drive to succeed at anything you set your mind to. You are the most deserving, and best suited person for the role of CUS President. Best of luck in the election! You 1000000000000% have my vote! ‪#‎votevlau"‬
