Quinn Derksen

Hi! I'm Quinn, and I'll be SSA's Director of Special Events this academic year! Last year I was a Special Events Programmer, so I'm excited for another exciting year of planning events for the U of M science community! In my free time, you'll catch me volunteering with SJA, baking sourdough, and spending time with loved ones!

Hi! My name is Jayden Gupta, and I'm a Special Events Programmer (Social) this year on council. In my free time, I like going fishing, playing ultimate frisbee, basketball, rage baiting Quinn, and running some Brawl Stars (top 200 Edgar player in Canada btw)! Can't wait for an exciting year with the SSA fam jam!

Hi! I’m Zenah and I will be one of your special events programmers for this upcoming year! I am currently in my 4th year of a microbiology major with a minor in health science. This is my first year on the council as well! In my free time, I enjoy activities such as running, yoga, reading, and watching any of the newest tv series!
