Our leadership team includes executives and directors who work hard throughout the year to ensure that SCOLAPS can continue to run and make an impact at York. Our team is made up exclusively of students from the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies who volunteer their time and skill to support student governance.
Executive Team
Oluwajuwon Olofe (President)
Hello! My name is Oluwajuwon, but you can call me Juwon. I’m a third-year student in Law & Society, and I joined SCOLAPS because I’m passionate about student governance and excited to make a positive impact in our community.
Through this role, I aim to contribute to key decisions and advocate for the needs of students, whether academic, professional, or social. One of my main goals is to help build a stronger sense of community among LA&PS students and create spaces where we can all learn, grow, and support each other.
Fun Fact: I love exploring new things, and I also play the piano!
Riwon Kim (Vice-President Governance)
Hi everyone. I'm Riwon Kim! I am in my third year in criminology. I am excited to play the role as the vice-president of governance this year. Throughout my studies, I've been developing a strong interest in how law, justice, and human rights intersect with everyday life, and I'm looking forward to bringing that perspective into my work on the team. I value collaboration, transparency, and creating spaces where everyone feels heard, and I hope to contribute to building a supportive and engaged community. I'm really looking forward to working with all of you and making this a meaningful year together!
Tyler Mcrae (Vice-President Internal)
A dedicated undergraduate student in the Disaster & Emergency Management program at York University. He is actively involved in student leadership, serving in multiple campus organizations including the Undergraduates of Disaster & Emergency Management (UDEM) and SCOLAPS. With a background in logistics and public service, passionate about building community and supporting his peers, he is committed to fostering collaboration, accountability, and student engagement across the Liberal Arts & Professional Studies community.
Manal Malik (Vice-President External)
Hi! I’m Manal, a fourth-year Business Technology Management student. I genuinely love what I study, especially getting to work on group projects and collaborate with others. I moved to Canada from Karachi, Pakistan when I was 12, and that experience really shaped my perspective and empathy. I chose business tech because I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone, and it’s led me to discover a passion for blending creativity, strategy, and people. Outside of school, I love watching movies, spending time with my cats, and picking up new hobbies just for the fun of it.
Noah Kerr (Director of Student Support)
Hi everyone, I'm Noah! I'm entering my third year of Public Administration for the 2025-2026 academic year. At York, I've volunteered as the Vice-President of my Public Policy & Administration Student Association, a Frosh Leader with Founders College, and as an Events Coordinator with the York University Musicians Society! When I'm not studying or volunteering, I love reading and playing music with my friends in my band (shameless s/o) Biker's Fault! Excited to see what we can accomplish this year!
Cecilia Pickering (Director of Awards)
Hello! My name is Cecilia Pickering, and I’m currently in my fifth and final year as an undergraduate student in Disaster and Emergency Management. I’m excited to serve as the Director of Awards for the 2025-2026 SCOLAPS Executive Council. I also serve as the President of the Undergraduates of Disaster and Emergency Management (UDEM). In both roles, I'm committed to upholding and fulfilling the missions of SCOLAPS and UDEM. Throughout my undergraduate journey, I’ve held several leadership positions both on and off campus, each one shaping my dedication to student engagement and community development. Being SCOLAPS’ Director of Awards is not just another line on my resume, it’s a meaningful opportunity to serve and support the students of LA&PS with integrity and purpose. In my limited free time, I enjoy painting, writing, baking for my loved ones, and catching up on the latest science fiction series.
