Lily is currently the Vice President of UR POLIS, she has previously served as Treasurer (2023/2024).
Lily chose to major in PPE because she is passionate about addressing systemic issues present in society today. Her goal is to utilize her education to make an impact in her community by supporting efforts to uplift others' quality of life. She is also the Innovative Engagement Coordinator for the student-led non-profit InspirED.
Outside of school, Lily plays rec basketball, works out, and enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, and swimming. When she is not working, she is reading up on feminism, politics, and philosophy.
Her favourite PAIS course so far is PPE 200, and will advocate for any major to check it out. Her advice to PAIS students is “to explore the topics that interest you, challenge your beliefs, and ask plenty of questions”. Pints and Politics is one of Lily’s favourite UR POLIS events as it brings the student and faculty community together in a relaxed, engaging setting.
