CANDIDATE FOR VP Academic

Fraser Sockett: The A.C.E. of K.E.Y’s for V.P. Academic—Unlocking Your Potential!

Hello, I’m Fraser Sockett, an HR student. This may not be your first time reading one of my articles in The Nugget, but this time, it’s different—I’m here to speak as a confident and knowledgeable student leader. I’m running for VP of Academic because I’m passionate about helping my fellow students find their spark. Once you’ve uncovered that inner fire, I’ll help you turn it into a blazing flame of success!

I’m thrilled to bring my experience, passion, and dedication to this role, and I’d be honoured to serve as your VP of Academics. Together, we can create opportunities for every student at NAIT to succeed. With my A.C.E. platform—Advocating, Championing, and Enhancing—I’ll be the A.C.E. in your corner, ready to help you thrive!

Advocate for Academic Excellence

When I started at NAIT as a mature student in 2021, tools like ChatGPT weren’t even on the radar. Fast-forward to today, and AI tools have become game-changers—sparking creativity in brainstorming but sometimes causing confusion in group projects. As your VP of Academic, I’ll work with NAIT to improve and enhance current policies around AI. Together, we’ll ensure these tools empower students and help everyone navigate this evolving academic world confidently.

Championing Student Success

The past VP Academic’s have done incredible work behind the scenes, creating tools and opportunities that many students benefit from, often without realizing it. I’m ready to carry that torch forward, lighting the path for your success—whether you excel on campus or forge your future after graduation.

Think of me as a collaborator, working closely with NAIT’s executive management team to refine tools and develop strategies that drive student success. The tools for success are

already here—let’s make them sharper, more accessible, and ready for you to pick up and use. By fostering meaningful conversations in every meeting, I’ll ensure the focus remains empowering students and shaping an academic experience that sets them up for a bright future.

Enhancing the Academic Journey

You are at the center of your academic journey, and I’m here to support you by advocating for more opportunities to help you thrive. Imagine a scholarly community where mentors guide and encourage students, networking events help you make valuable connections, and your professional growth begins here at NAIT.

Knowledge, Experience & You (K.E.Y)!

With my background as a NAITSA senator, a contributing writer for The Nugget, VP of Communications for the HR Club, and CPHR-AB Campus Ambassador, I’m ready to create more opportunities for students across Main, Souch, and Patricia campuses. I’m here to open doors to success, bringing strength, wisdom, and experience to guide NAIT students toward a brighter future!

Thank you for reading my message. Your vote means everything to me, and I’m ready to serve you with dedication and passion as your VP of Academic. Fraser Sockett—your A.C.E in the pocket. Got questions or ideas? Reach out anytime at Fraser4VPA@gmail.com!
