1. Representation and Engagement
I am committed to strengthening student advocacy on critical issues such as timetabling, study spaces, assessments, workload balance, and broader academic concerns because every student—whether on campus, on placement, or studying remotely—deserves to feel truly represented and supported. As a student and an officer, I have realized that all student concerns stem from the need for strong representation. This core belief guides my commitment to ensuring your voice is heard.
Key Initiatives:
• Know Your Rights Campaign: I am working on making student rights clear through accessible online resources and visible physical campaigns.
• Enhanced Communication: I am collaborating with the university to implement Term-time Letters and Confirmation of Studies, ensuring every student receives essential documentation. This is especially important for international students, who often face job-related challenges due to missing documents.
2. Belonging and a Better Campus Experience
In the last few months, I’ve worked towards creating a campus where every student feel they belong - and I want to do more! I believe in building a vibrant community where diversity is celebrated, and meaningful connections can be made beyond the classroom.
Key Initiatives:
• Inclusive Campus Events: More student-friendly events, cultural celebrations, and networking opportunities that cater to backgrounds, ensuring a diverse campus environment.
• Strengthening Academic Relationships: Recognizing that some students hesitate to communicate their concerns with academics, I will work with the university to create a supportive environment that empowers every student to speak up confidently.
3. Student Well-being and Welfare: A Campus That Cares
Understanding the pressures of balancing work, studies, family, and personal life, I know how important well-being is. Collaborate with the University Well-being Team to launch a Digital Mental Health Resource Hub providing 24/7 access to self-help tools, stress management techniques empowering students to manage their well-being anytime, anywhere.
