ROSE-MARIE SÉGUIN
VP Global Health
Hello nurses and murses!
My name is Rose; I am a BNI U3 student and your VP Global Health for the 2023-2024 Academic Year. I am very excited to share my passion for health outreach, sustainability and equity with fellow students who strive to make an impact within our community and beyond.
Currently, I am running the McGill Nurses for Global Health (MNGH) committee, which encourages students to get involved in the community by organizing and taking part in global health and sustainability-oriented projects.
Ultimately, my goal this academic year is to spark (self-)reflection by raising awareness and involving students in community-driven projects. I am hopeful that these reflections will blossom into a desire to break down the barriers preventing accessible healthcare for populations whose voices cannot be heard.
I look forward to meeting you all!! Message me if you have any questions or project ideas and/or want to get involved.
Cheers!❤️

Don’t hesitate to contact me with any ideas or to join the MNPH committee!

My role as class rep is to truly make our cohorts’ voices heard and to bring a friendly and supportive environment while we embark on our nursing journey together! I’m interested in finding ways to make the BNI Online class more connected since the online modality can be isolating both from professors and classmates.
I like to play and stream video games, eat good food and sing! I'm always up for having a good time which usually includes a night out dancing, going to concerts, and midnight craving runs. I’m hardworking and passionate about nursing because it runs in my blood (no, really, I’m Filipino). I post a lot on Instagram, both personally and about nursing.

HONOAH XU
BScN U2 Representative
Hey there, fellow nurses!!
I’m Honoah (he/him), and I’m going into my third year at McGill. This year, I’m proudly representing the BScN U2 Class.
My role? Imagine me as the link between our class and the NUS! My missions? To voice and represent our class in NUS Council meetings, collaborate with our brilliant BScN VP Academics to conquer challenges, and make sure everyone's in the loop about upcoming NUS activities.
Here’s a little sneak peek into my life: I moved from Calgary, was born in Edmonton, and also lived in Toronto. When I'm not immersed in the world of nursing and academics, you'll find me climbing or indulging on YouTube and Kdramas. And hey, life isn't just about me and my studies—I'm a proud member of SSUNS, NPMP, and a couple of NUS committees, and I find purpose in volunteering for non-profits!
See you around campus!
Honoah 😁
