Nicolas Keough (he/him)

Director of External Affairs, Communication, and Research

My name is Nicolas, and I’m your Director of External Affairs this year! This is my third year on the Board of Directors, having served as engineering rep from 2022-24. My priorities for this year include fighting to lower tuition fees and fighting against colonialism in all its forms - this means standing up for the people of Palestine, Congo, and Sudan, among others.

As Director of External Affairs, I am the primary media spokesperson for the student body and my role includes keeping student issues at the forefront of the political conversation. As part of my advocacy, I commit to centring Black, Indigenous, and other racialized and marginalized voices as they are often overlooked in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Please feel free to reach out to me at external@munsu.ca if you have any issues, and I will be happy to help.

Nicolas is also the Campaigns Coordinator for CFS-NL.
