Position contesting: President
Who do you think you are?
“I am a 3rd year History student. I was Vanbrugh Chair from 2011 to 2012, and this gave me a lot of experience in working with University staff as well as fighting for the students in the college as well. Being Chair of a JCRC gave me a really good background in what students at York want, and the knowledge of how to get this done by working with the people alongside me. I believe that I can lead the Union to provide better opportunities for students at York, both in their experience at university and after graduating.”
What’s your vision?
“My main policy is to improve the opportunities that students have at York, and to increase their employability by extending and developing the careers service. York has been slipping down the university league tables for the past few years largely owing to poor graduate employability and this has to stop right now.
– Have a YUSU bar or club in town.
– Channel more money into helping JCRCs put on events to perpetuate college spirit among second and third years.
– Fight on behalf of students who are in disputes with their landlords.
– Increase attendance of students at Assemblies so they know what is going on at university more.”
Why don’t you know how to smile? I couldn’t possibly vote for that Chandler Bing-esque grimace. Good grief.
His employment policy seems like the only worthwhile one a candidate has put forward so far… but the gurn is not good
