Murat Ates, 2008 Residence Supervisor
Hey guys, my name is Murat Ates and this is my second year as a Residence Supervisor for the MSA. Last summer was the time of my life! When you combine that great experience with my time as a Senior Resident Advisor at the U of M this past year, I'm pumped to be here for a summer that promises to be even better than the last. A few of my favourite things include hockey, music, cake, and meeting new people. Especially people who bring me cake. =)

I grew up in Pinawa, and am currently aiming to major in Anthropology at the University of Manitoba, possibly minoring in Slavic Studies. I love being active, especially when it comes to hockey, soccer and swimming. I also spend a lot of my time playing guitar and cheering for the Oilers.
