Jacques le Roux

Preferred portfolios:

Head Mentor:

Having been a mentor this year I would love to pass on the knowledge I have learned this year and guide the new mentors on their journey.

Welcoming Leader:

I think it will be a fun challenge for me, but I know I can handle it.

Second years guardian:

Although I believe there should not be a second years committee, I still think there should be someone to help the second years transition to seniors.

Sport:

I love sport and have played various types of sports. I want to help make Pieke’s sporting teams one of the best on campus.

Suggestions:

• Have more interactions with men’s residences as currently we do not have any interactions with men’s residences in welcoming.

• Dissolve the second years committee as they have not done the work they should have for the past 2 – 3 years. In their place we can make a “welcoming” committee that is open to anyone in Pieke. They can then help in welcoming to take the high workload off the mentors and HC.

• Try to have more events throughout the year to keep the #GEES through the year.

Problems in previous leadership structures:

• The second years committee’s lack of dedication in welcoming and leaving work that the mentors had to do for them. This is the reason I believe the second years committee should be dissolved.

• The lack of a lot of leadership development events. I believe that there should be more to help find the next leaders of Pieke.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

I believe that when under pressure I can still perform to the best of my abilities. I also think that I am very observant and can notice when something is not right.

On the other side, I am sometimes impatient and want results right away instead of waiting and giving things time. I can also get easily bored when I am not interested in something.

Type of leader:

I want to be a leader that listens to what everyone has to say, but that can also make split second decisions when needed.
