Campaign in three words: Experienced, Active, and Committed.
What’s the most important part of your manifesto?
Using the University’s accessibility audit to find the worst areas and ensure they are fixed.
How do you differ from the other candidates?
Well I am the only candidate, but I bring experience and understanding of the role and its responsibilities as the current officer.
What was your favourite thing the previous officer did and why?
I am the current officer. However, my predecessor Emma Hersey laid some very important foundations for disability sport and that is to be commended.
What’s the most important thing about the role you are going for?
The chance to engage with disabled students and ensure that their campaigns are carried forward into university policy.
How are you campaigning?
Going around and talking to students via kitchen tours and lecture shouts as well as covering campus with cardboard.
What do you like the most about York?
I enjoy the open and inclusive atmosphere of the university and the can-do attitude of the students.
What’s the best slogan you can think of for your campaign?
#ReElecTRON
What do you think about York Vision?
Very good paper that really gets at the heart of campus issues, if not a bit too sensationalist.
