Each year, a Student Governor is elected or appointed to sit on the Mohawk College Board of Governors. The role of the Student Governor is to represent the voice and interests of all Mohawk College students at the Mohawk College Board of Governor meetings. The Student Governor also provides input on the college’s strategic direction and goals, assists in monitoring college operations and performance, and assists in assessing college projects and proposals.

After a thorough review of their application, the candidate was appointed to the position. We are pleased to announce that your Student Governor for 2024/2025 is Claudia Novelo Fragoso.
