GAUTHAM RAJENDRA 

My name is Gautham Rajendra and I'm looking to run for the Second Year Athletics Rep. I did my undergrad at York University where I completed a B.A of Kinesiology. I’ve played competitive sports since I was 5 years old and played Varsity Football at York for 5 years! I strongly believe that physical activity is so very important for not only your physical, but your mental health. I am so thankful that I got to use athletics to express myself and continue to participate in them in a more recreational manner. I was lucky enough to hold the first-year athletics and rec position for the 2020/21 school year and was able to coordinate some events such as a presentation by a registered dietician and weekly HIIT workouts. As the second-year athletics representative I am hoping to build on the events we hosted this year that allow for everyone in the program to engage in some form of athletics safely, whether it be virtually or in person while remaining socially distant. I want to take the time to thank all of my peers for considering me for this position. I hope to have your vote and I wish the best of luck to all my peers applying for any NUS positions!
