Directors

Ralph Matthew Cruz

I am Ralph Matthew Cruz, a student in the Supply Chain and Operations program and a dedicated student leader committed to strengthening our school community through responsible leadership and collaboration. As part of the Student Union, I ensure decisions are guided by careful analysis and aligned with the best interests of all students. I believe in setting the right priorities, valuing diverse perspectives, and creating meaningful impact. I aim to reinforce the Student Union’s role as a bridge between students and administration. While resources may be limited, I am committed to maximizing impact and prioritizing student welfare and continuous community growth.

Samuel Nelly Ismaila

I am Samuel Nelly Ismaila (a.k.a Samnelly), currently in the Fashion Design program. As your Director, I’m passionate about creating inclusive spaces where you feel safe, heard, and supported. With a strong background in fashion design and experience in other fields, I believe I can make a difference in our college, staff, and students. I understand that success comes with hard work and determination, but without a voice, their success is not worth the cost.

With our collaboration as a student and the Fanshawe Student Union (FSU) Board of Directors, I believe we can grow a greater school community where we all strive and support each other to greater success.

Amrit Kaur

I am Amrit Kaur, a student in the Personal Support Worker (PSW) program at Fanshawe College and a Director with the Fanshawe Student Union. I am passionate about supporting students and helping create a positive and inclusive campus environment. In my role, I focus on listening to student concerns, encouraging collaboration, and contributing to meaningful improvements in student life. My studies have strengthened my compassion, communication, and commitment to helping others. I believe in leading with empathy, respect, and responsibility while representing diverse student voices and working to enhance the overall student experience.

Agrim Thakur (Chair of the Board)

Hey Falcons! 

I’m Agrim Thakur, a Developmental Services Worker (DSW) student at Fanshawe College and a member of the Fanshawe Student Union Board of Directors. My journey from running a business to returning to school reflects resilience, discipline and a strong drive to grow. As a judo athlete, I bring focus, respect and mental strength into everything I do. I’m approachable, action-oriented and committed to creating real impact-advocating for students, pushing for change and building a campus where everyone feels supported, heard and empowered to succeed.

Feel free to talk to me anytime.

I’m on campus most of the time. No talk, just action-let’s make it count.

Abrar Ul Hoque (Secretary)

Hello Fanshawe, I’m Abrar Ul Hoque, a student in the Automotive Technology and Motive Power Trades program and a current FSU Director.

I focus on turning student concerns into clear, practical action. As a former Class Representative and International Student Ambassador, I’ve worked directly with Associate Deans and Advisors to push issues forward and improve communication. I listen, follow up, and make sure things don’t get ignored. I care about fairness, accountability, and changes that actually make student life easier. If something needs to be addressed, I’ll bring it to the table and see it through.

And finally, if you see me on campus, don’t hesitate to say hi, most real improvements start from simple conversations.
