Why Hello There!

Let me introduce myself, my name is Natalya and I’m the new Help Centre Coordinator. I’ve been a USSU volunteer for the past two years, but now they let me have an office with a real phone and computer and business cards and everything! It’s the real deal. My first month as a coordinator has been magnificent. I’ve been busy cleaning and decorating the space. I’ve also been busy getting to know the staff and executive. Not only are they really nice people, but they’re also exceptionally good looking. Seriously. If you haven’t met the new executive yet I highly suggest you introduce yourself the next time you see them around. You won’t regret it.

I’ve also been spending a lot of time with Jack and Heather, the new Pride and Women’s Centre coordinators. We all fell in love instantly, and I can assure you, this year will be unlike any other. We’ve got lots of plans in the works for Welcome Week and the first couple months of school. If you’re in the city on June 16th and you would like to join us in the Pride Parade we’d love to have you. We’re dressing up as the Gay Gods, so all you’ll need is a toga (aka a cheap bed sheet) to join in the fun. If you want to get in on all the USSU action feel free to stop by any of the centres to ask for a volunteer application. Join our Facebook pages to keep up on all the latest happenings.

I should tell you a bit about myself as well… Like I said, my name is Natalya. I was born and raised in West Philadelphia. Chillin’ out and maxin’. Sometimes relaxin’ all cool. Shootin’ some b-ball outside of the school. Kidding… I wish I was that cool. I was actually born on campus. The day I was born they changed the name from the University Hospital to the Royal University Hospital and there were fireworks. I guess you could say I’m a pretty big deal. I’m a psychology major in my 4th year—Although I’m planning on sticking around for a couple more years. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

Come stop by my office and say hello. I’ll bribe you if I have to: I’ve got plenty of condoms, lube, razors, pads, tampons, pamphlets, buttons and seasons of early ninety’s TV shows to keep you amused. There’s also a wonderful exam file full of previous tests and labs so you can ace all of your summer classes. If you’re looking to get rid of any old exams I would be happy to take them off your hands. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the year!

Yours truly,

Natalya
