Candidate profile: Jason Brandwood

JasonBrandwoodJason’s a fourth year Masters student, having studied at York as an undergraduate and being an active member of Langwith as Vice Chair. He’s noticed a different attitude of YUSU and a fighting spirit which he’s never seen during his time at York, and hopes he can drive forward further positive changes. His main policy revolves around employability, in his view the priority for an Academic Officer. He’d like societies and activities to work more closely with academic life, so individuals can have well rounded CVs alongside top grades, and wants to introduce employability weeks in order to increase the percentage of successful job applications.
