Core Executive Team

The core executive team makes up the heart of the MSSS, and are the governing body of our student society. 

Composed of the president and vice presidents of administration, finance, academics, programming, and external affairs, our executives ensure that all of the services and events provided by the MSSS continue to run as efficiently as possible as well as bring about new initiatives. 

Furthermore, the executives are a source of communication, always open to the wishes and needs of undergraduate social sciences students at McMaster University.

About Me

Hello friends, my name is Salsa Sarhan (she/her) and I am the MSSS President for the 2021-2022 school year. I’m going into my fourth year of Political Sciences and Labour Studies with a Minor in Public Leadership. I’m obsessed with huskies and German shepherds, so if you have one please send photos of your doggo💛 Fun fact: I am a huge Marvel fanatic, so if I’m not capturing photos of my city, catch me binge watching everything in the MCU.
