Matthew’s a third year PPE student from Vanbrugh and an active society member, involved with the Caledonian Society, United Nations Association and York Tories to name a few. Matthew also pushed through with Alex Wilson a record breaking referendum last year. He believes York needs to solve the disjunct between academic excellence and employment, and thinks his policies are believable yet achievable. He’s calling for equal resources throughout campus, the alumni service to work more closely with the career service, and a Wednesday afternoon time for societies, volunteering and employment to increase university spirit.
