Cassidy Laub

Case Competition Coordinator 
Hey! I’m Cassidy Laub. I’m in my third year of bio-medical science at the University of Guelph. In the SSGSA, I am the Logistics Coordinator of the Case Competition Branch. I collaborate with my branch to plan the SSGSA STEM Sustainability Case Competition. Specifically, I oversee planning related to competition rules, venues, team formation and competition logistics. I am thrilled to be a part of this branch because I am passionate about creating opportunities for students to learn outside of school. The case competition is a great way to provide something fun for the University of Guelph community to participate in. Beyond this I love spending my time with family and friends. I try to spend as much time outside as possible, usually hiking or golfing.

Khwaiish Dhir

Case Competition Events Coordinator
Hello everyone! My name is Khwaiish Dhir and I'm SSGSA's case competition events co-ordinator. I am an international student from India and I'm in my 3rd year at the University of Guelph. My role in the SSGSA involves hosting workshops and various other events for students and participants. The case competition is an excellent initiative and I'm so glad to be a part of it and to be working with the rest of the team.

Avery Bendell

Case Competition Events Coordinator
I'm Avery, but most people call me Ave! I am in my second year of the bio-medical science major, with a minor in math! This year I will be acting as one of the case competition event coordinators! I love being on campus where I give campus tours and play the trumpet in the school jazz band! I also have a passion for sport where I coach competitive gymnastics and participate in human exercise research on campus! I’m super excited to be back on campus and working alongside creative individuals committed to improving life!

Andres Bravo

Case Competition Marketing Coordinator
Hey! My name is Andres, I’m in my fourth year as a Bio-Medical Science student and will be your Case Competition Marketing Coordinator this year. This means I’ll be responsible for all of the Instagram/Facebook posts you see for the Case Competition. Outside of the club, I spend a lot of my time working out at the athletic centre or working at the hospital in the ER. When I’m not there, you can find me playing intramural sports or watching the Raptors have another disappointing season.

Alice Nielissen

Case Competition Volunteer Coordinator  
Hello! My name is Alice and I am a second-year Biomedical Science student. As the volunteer coordinator for the SSGSA Case Competition Branch, I organize the recruitment, scheduling, communication and training of ambassadors. When I am not doing schoolwork I like hanging out with friends and going to the mall. In the summer, I enjoy boating, paddle boarding, kayaking and all cottage related activities. As an avid dog lover, I have two St. Bernards who are the cutest things in the whole world
