Kenzy Soror
for At-Large Senator
February 3-5
A Proven Record of Results
I’ve spent years turning advocacy into action — from reforming governance in the WRDSB as a twice-elected Student Trustee, to shaping campus advocacy at WUSA as a two-time member of the Advocacy Positions Committee. My track record is defined by real outcomes: stronger representation, lasting reforms, and systems that put students first.
A Seat for Every Student
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: Every student deserves a voice in the decisions that shape their education. Too often, important discussions happen behind closed doors. I’m committed to changing that. My priority is breaking down barriers to participation and building channels that make governance accessible, inclusive, and transparent.
A Team That Delivers
I’m proud to run as part of Team Horizon: a group of student advocates with a shared record of driving real change. Together, we’re building an action‑oriented student government that achieves the progress it promises. Through reach across every corner of campus, we’ll ensure these values shape a university where decisions about us are decisions made with us, for us.

Democratizing Senate Governance
Senate decisions shape how our university operates, yet today, a small administrative committee determines which motions even reach the floor. This limits transparency and constrains student-led initiatives before they can be meaningfully debated. Kenzy will push to open these processes by increasing transparency in how motions are reviewed, establishing clear and consistent criteria for approval or revision, and reassessing voting rules that disproportionately disadvantage student proposals. By strengthening institutional support for Senators, she will ensure student representatives can bring forward meaningful ideas without unnecessary procedural barriers.Strengthening Faculty-Senate Bridges
Many of the most consequential academic decisions are developed within faculties long before they reach Senate. When Senators are disconnected from these discussions, opportunities for meaningful student representation are lost. Kenzy will work to bridge this gap by advocating for formal Senate representation on faculty councils, stronger communication channels between faculties and their Senators, and clearer expectations for sharing emerging proposals with Senate. By involving Senators earlier in the decision-making process, she will help ensure student perspectives shape academic policy from the outset — not only at the point of final approval._RvKhJTyf86TGoxHKlWaMx.jpeg)

Upholding Student Rights and Fairness
Students deserve fair workloads, reasonable exam schedules, and consistent academic policies that respect both their time and wellbeing. Yet unclear rules and uneven enforcement across faculties often leave students with limited clarity or recourse when issues arise. Kenzy will champion university-wide policies that promote fairness across faculties, including more balanced exam scheduling, clearer expectations for undergraduate academic labour, and accessible, transparent appeal processes. By putting equity and accountability at the heart of academic policy, she will work to ensure students spend less time navigating bureaucracy and more time focused on learning.About Kenzy
Kenzy Soror (she/her) is a 3B Double Degree student pursuing Computer Science at the University of Waterloo and Business Administration at Wilfrid Laurier University, and has proudly called Kitchener-Waterloo home since she could walk.Guided by commitment, curiosity, and community-rooted empathy, Kenzy brings a lifelong passion for advocacy, student voice, and equitable governance to the fight for real change. She believes that every student deserves not just to be represented, but to be heard, included, and empowered to shape the systems that impact their lives.
Advocacy anchors everything Kenzy stands for. For the past two years, she has served on the WUSA Advocacy Positions Committee, where she’s been dedicated to identifying key student-impacting issues. Whether the topic is student mental health, international tuition, or the accessibility of co-op education, Kenzy has pushed for change grounded in research, empathy, and a deep understanding of the student experience.
Before arriving at UW, Kenzy was twice elected as the Student Trustee for the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB), representing over 64,000 students at the Board table. She became a leading voice for equitable representation and transparent decision-making, spearheading reforms that fundamentally reshaped student inclusion in governance. She founded several landmark initiatives — including Now You Know, a web series spotlighting students and their stories; #ALLEARSKW, a reporting tool for student concerns; and the WRDSB Student Roundtable, opening Board dialogue to every secondary student in the region. Her work delivered WRDSB’s first-ever board-wide Student Trustee election — a structural reform that continues to empower student voice to this day.
Kenzy’s advocacy reaches beyond school boards and campus walls. Through Capacity Canada’s “Gen Z on Boards” program, she trained in modern non-profit governance, deepening her understanding of how strong boards translate values and community needs into concrete policy and action. Through Engineers Without Borders, she has actively contributed to projects advancing clean energy, global education, and equity-driven innovation across continents, bridging technical solutions with policy advocacy for sustainable impact.
In the At-Large Senator seat, Kenzy will fight to make academic decisions transparent, inclusive, and truly student-led. She envisions a Senate that doesn’t wait for students to knock, but instead opens its doors, invites them in, and amplifies every voice until real change follows. Her years of experience in governance, record of tangible results, and unshakable belief in the power of empathy make her ready to lead that change.
When not working to build systems that listen, Kenzy can be found pouring over books that stir the soul, teaching herself new musical instruments, or convincing anyone who will listen to watch her latest cinematic discovery (recommendations are always welcome!).
