Position contesting: President
Who do you think you are?
“I’m from Vanbrugh College, a former Politics with IR student. I was Vanbrugh College Ents Rep, Vanbrugh College Chair and Vanbrugh Football 2nd Team Captain.
I’m standing because I feel like I’ve made an overall good and necessary impact on YUSU since July 2012. We’ve made our work more visible than ever, standing up to the University, and others, for our students. We’ve actually won campaigns both big and small. We’re now more than just an events company. But there’s still so much to do.”
What’s your vision?
“It takes more than a year to change the culture of a once slow, inefficient Students’ Union and a university which is only just starting to listen to students. With a new Vice Chancellor on the way; this is a huge window for change and we need a President who will make the most of that .
– More emphasis on ‘wellbeing’ and not just welfare,!
– Completely overhaul of how students can hold officers to account and have their opinion heard. It needs to be easier.
– Need to start embracing the potential of the internet, and get out ‘to’ students more in some basic, and some creative ways. Having a meeting once a week is so outdated .
