Ehab Chamseddine

Hi all! My name is Ehab Chamseddine. I am currently a first year medical student at the University of Alberta. As a first-generation student with no immediate family members who have attended university, navigating my first year at university posed significant challenges. However, this journey has underscored the profound value of having a mentor and a strong support network.

​

Recognizing the transformative power of mentorship and drawing upon my own experiences, both on and off campus, as well as my involvement in non-profit organizations, I joined forces with other passionate individuals to establish the Edmonton Education Equality Society (EEES). Our shared vision is to empower and support youth hailing from marginalized populations, including BIPOC, LGBTQ2SA+, immigrants, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Through EEES, we strive to provide invaluable mentorship, free resources, and tutoring sessions.

​

By acknowledging the unique hurdles that individuals from these backgrounds face, we actively confront these disparities head-on. Our ultimate goal is to foster a level playing field where every student has the opportunity to thrive and excel in their post-secondary pursuits. Together, we are committed to creating a brighter and more equitable future for all.
