Baksh
Residence Wide Welcome Week Planner
Rabina Baksh is an undergraduate student at McMaster who exemplifies the
qualities of leadership. Baksh first began to take on leadership roles
in high school as part of the Student Council, the Grade 11 president,
and the Grade 12 grad president. These roles involved executing and guiding
students in event planning, administration, and team building. Two experiences
that especially strengthened Baksh’s motivation to continue in leadership
roles were as the Community Advisor and House Planner (HPA) in the McMaster
residence, Brandon Hall. These roles involved supervision and guidance
of approximately 500 students. The leadership experiences to have the
most impact on Baksh involved interaction with people in a goal oriented
atmosphere, meeting new people, achieving goals, and learning and developing
new perspectives. Baksh believes that the desire to help, patience, an
open personality, and the ability to take a stand make an outstanding
woman leader.
