Hafeza Khan

Second-year Hons. Bachelor of Public Administration (BPA) major, Management stream

Hello everyone! My name is Hafeza Khan, and I am a second-year student in the Specialized Honours Bachelor of Public Administration (BPA) program, Management stream. From a young age, I developed an interest in learning about the institutions that govern our society, and the actors that have a role in implementing change. My most memorable classes growing up were history and law. These courses solidified my passion to pursue a career in public service. At the same time, I was also drawn to business courses for the purposes of understanding how organizations operate and to gain financial literacy. I recognized that there is an overlap between these areas of study when planning fiscal and social policies. For these reasons, it was essential for me to obtain a well-rounded education that would mesh all my interests in a meaningful way.

When I discovered the School of Public Policy and Administration, I was impressed to find a program tailored to my interests. From the first week of classes, I realized that my time at York would be invaluable. The BPA program provides a competitive academic environment that combines theory and practice. I believe that the faculty are truly invested in students' success because they continuously encourage us to apply ourselves. Students can access opportunities through the School of Public Policy and Administration Alumni Network in addition to the undergraduate student association. It is also comforting to know that there is support available to students as they continue their education at York University.

Joining the Public Policy and Administration Student Association (PPASA) has introduced me to a community of individuals with a shared interest in advancing the public good. Currently, I serve as the Director of Marketing and promote our events and workshops. I hope to continue to be a part of this amazing team and work with talented people in the years ahead. If I could offer a piece of advice, it would be to take chances, embrace new opportunities, and prove your value everywhere you go.
