Jacob Circo is very passionate for urban planning and school politics. Throughout his first year, he always jumped to the opportunity to run for many positions to advocate for his ideas to help improve Ryerson. He is currently a Senator for the university and a dedicated member of the Ryerson Association of Planning Students. He is never shy to express his opinion and love for his ideas for urban planning. He is very supportive and caring for all members of urban planning and the Ryerson community.
