GSPIA Student Association
![]()
The Public and International Affairs Association (PIAA) consists of eight members representing the students of GSPIA. Our mandate is to make sure that people have opportunities to meet each other, to have fun with their peers, and to rally with professors and senior fellows to discuss similar interests.
We also address the academic needs and rights of our students through relationships at the program administration level, and have recently created a one-of-its-kind scholarship program, built by students for students.
Here is a quick breakdown of the people and of the different positions within PIAA:
President – Audrey Desmarteaux-Houle
Vice-President – Maria Habanikova
VP Finance – Mallory McKenna
VP Communications – Sam Pikelin
Chairperson – Hana Kokanovic
VP Internal – Carol Daley
First-year representative – Augustine Kwok
Second-year representative – Stéphanie MacKnight
Our office is located at DMS 2170F. It is a cozy place where you are always welcome; visit us whenever you want! If you have any questions about the Association, its mandate, its positions or ways to get involved, feel free to contact us at api.president@gmail.com.
