President - Rachel Kyle
Hey all, my name is Rachel and I'm in my last year studying biology and english cultural studies. I am excited for this year, we have an amazing executive who has quite the involved year planned for you! From barbeques to concerts, from social events to volunteering at a seniors home and at the old brewery mission, this year's theme of "Equal Opportunity" is shaping up to be one of the busiest of my 4 years involved with McGill Rotaract. Getting to know me I am an energetic, self-professed biology nerd who loves to sing, dance, play the bassoon, study genetics, volunteer, and hang out with friends. Please feel free to email me with suggestions, comments, ideas, or just to say hi!

Treasurer - Jin Choi
My name is Jin Choi and I'm coming back as Treasurer$$$In my third year, I'll be studying physiology with a mix of social studies of medicine and kinesiology. I got to know Rotaract from my Interact years during high school, and I'm proud to be part of Rotary to this day. Surely, this won't be my last year with Rotaract :PI love soccer, snowboarding, and badminton. I hope Rotaract 2008/09 will be lots of fun! (and lots of hours counting money for my part)Communications and Publications - Pamela Lee and Heather Anderson
HiMy name is Pamela, and this is my second year with the McGill Rotaract club! I'm entering my second year (U1) at McGill, and I'll be majoring in Kinesiology. I spent half of my first year at the Macdonald Campus in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, and transfered downtown for the winter semester - where I found out about Rotaract. I'm looking forward to a year that will be jam-packed with volunteer and fundraising events! In my spare time, I enjoy running, rock climbing, reading the newspaper - lol, and I'm always up for trying something new!
Volunteering and Fundraising - Nicolette Neumann
Hi all! My name is Nicolette Neumann and I am a U2 biology major. I am originally from Connecticut, and have had exposure to the Rotary most of my life because of my grandfather’s involvement in our local club. I joined Rotaract during my first year at McGill and am very excited about being VP Volunteering and Fundraising this year. I love how there are so many great and diverse opportunities to get out and give back to both the community and international organizations through Rotaract, and I am looking forward to working with next year’s exec to continue these great projects!
Membership and Social - Man-Yi Yau
Hi! I am originally from Hong Kong, but I lived in Syria and Lebanon for most of my life. Some of the things that I like to do are reading, travelling, and volunteering. This is my second year (U1) at McGill University. I joined the McGill Rotaract Club in winter 2008, during the second semester of my first year. I have enjoyed being part of this group, and I hope that I will be able to get more people to join us, get involved with the various activities and events we organize, have fun, and feel more at ease with each other this year. I really like that this year’s overarching theme is “Equal Opportunity,” and I also hope that we will be able to accomplish more as a group and to make a bigger difference in people’s lives. Finally, I’d like to wish everybody a really good year!Professional Development and Rotary Liasion - Sean Yaphe & Audrey Wong
Hi Everyone! I am from Montreal and have been involved with Rotary since high school when I joined the INTERACT Club (the only one on the island of Montreal!!). Ever since then, Rotary has been a huge part of my life. It's such an awesome organization! I am in U1 majoring in Biochemistry. Aside from school and Rotaract, I've played piano since I was 5 and compete in swimming competitions. I love to travel as well! This year with Rotaract is going to be amazing! We have so many great events and opportunities for the year.
Hi there! I'm Co-VP Professional Development and Rotary Liaison with Sean (above). I was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. I first found out about Rotaract through my local Interact Club that I was president of in my graduating year. I came to McGill to pursue an undergraduate business degree and am currently in U2 with the intent of doing a Major in Marketing, as well as a Minor in Politics, Law & Society. My ultimate goal is to go into law school to pursue either corporate or criminal law (a broad spectrum indeed!). I've enjoyed my time so far in Rotaract and am glad that I could help out even more this year. The school year 2008/2009 has a lot of promise and lots more to come. Cheers!
