Nathan Gillingham

Director of External Affairs, Communications, and Research

As Director of External Affairs, my role mostly entails media engagements and managing relationships with other stakeholders such as MUNL administration, elected officials, and other organizations. My job is essentially to put student issues at the forefront of the political conversation and to work with any organization furthering these interests.

A secondary task I’m responsible for is conducting research on student-related concerns in order for MUNSU to be best informed on current issues. I come from a research background, so I’m very excited to utilize these skills coming into this role!

Something else that follows under my job title is student engagement. My job is to engage with students, hear their concerns and the issues impacting them, and to use this information to ensure MUNSU is doing all it can to advocate and represent them. Getting as many people involved in MUNSU initiatives and operations is my ultimate goal!

Please feel free to reach out to me at external@munsu.ca if you have any questions or concerns. I will be happy to help!
