Gurjashan Singh Dhummi, a graduating student at Columbia College Vancouver, is recognized equally as a leader of students and a leader in fostering relationships with College bodies. He is tireless in pursuing a more just, inclusive, and student-centered College. He has worked on OER adoption, Indigenization, LGBTQIA+ solidarity, student representation, and accountability. An exceptional student with a 3.9 GPA, he earned a work placement as the social media manager for a local non-profit, Friends of Granville Island. In this capacity he works towards decolonizing their work and enhancing participation in a unique local amenity. Our College could not be prouder of this 19-year-old leader, from whom we have all learned and benefited.
