Dakota Willick
President &Â Co-Founder
Dakota has been a Kin Canada member since 2016, where she joined her first Campus Club at the University of Calgary. Quickly interested with Kin and its values, she transferred to the University of Victoria in 2017 and was disappointed to find no Campus Club in the area. In 2018, she, alongside co-founders Elizabeth Rohlicek and Samantha Hoogstins, successfully created a club that turned into treasured friends thanks to a group of like-minded students who equally care for their Victoria community.
Dakota will be graduating from the University of Victoria in the summer of 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and hopes to pursue a career in Indigenous relations and Sustainable Development. She is a strong believer in the power of positive attitude and helping those in need and hopes to develop her experiences through community work to create a more positive world. As this is her graduating year, regrettably it also marks her final year as President of the Kin Campus Club, though she will always continue to be Kin. Dakota is incredibly proud of the club’s persistent success and is excited to see the next generation of Campus Club Kin taking on the great pride of being active community members.

She is originally a resident of Montreal, but fell in love with Vancouver island as soon as she moved to Victoria to study her respective programs. She enjoys spending her weekends (that aren’t packed with studying) hiking, horseback riding, skiing and discovering new beaches and other 'hidden gems' on the island. KIN means a lot to her; the community and projects she's been a part of have allowed her grow as a person through each endeavour.
Vice-President
Quentin McShane
Quentin McShane is vice-president of the Uvic Kin Campus Club. He is currently taking a combined degree in Biology and Psychology hoping to graduate within the next decade! He grew up on the island playing all types of sports but mainly focusing on hockey, which allowed him to see a lot of Canada. In his spare time over the summer, which was very limited he enjoys working on his old cars and take them to local car shows with his fathers friends. Quentin joined Kin last year to give himself a sense of purpose outside of school and to help the surrounding community's greatest needs. Last year so much was accomplished, and he cannot wait to see what we can achieve this year.
