By Hale Mahon

Health Editor

health@excal.on.ca

Hale is a fourth-year student in public administration with a minor in psychology. As health editor, he wants to showcase research happening at York and see how scientific and medical expertise can inform political and organizational decisions. Hale unironically loves governance and sits on a few committees and boards at York, including the Public Policy & Administration Student Association, the Student Council of LA&PS, the university’s Senate, and the Student Centre Board of Directors. Outside of work, he enjoys cooking, cross-country skiing, camping, photography, making his own maple syrup, and watching '90s sitcoms.
