Candidate for the position of Education Officer
Vote Vockins
Education is at the forefront of my life here at UWE and how I envisage spending my time post degree prospects.
I’m a responsible fresher who is ready to step up and contribute towards making change as part of the Students’ Union here at UWE.
Through my experiences during both my first semester and within the work place I can help shape your future academic experience.
Why should you vote for me? Here’s why.
Our access to academic resources is inconsistent. The accessibility is difficult and I want to improve how we access these resources. I want to eliminate the issue we face, through the improvement of both digital and hard copies we will be benefited our ethic towards work improved.
When a book isn’t on the shelf I believe it should be accessible online. It’s all well and good recalling a book but what about if a deadline is the following day? The coursework might be done but surely there should still be the opportunity to improve.
An issue we face across all campus’ I want to work to improve the limited access to the range of study spaces. Through the further introduction of more modern, spacious and flexible study spaces we will benefit. At present, if you haven’t booked chances of getting one are slim. Through the collaboration with the University I hope to introduce a greater range number of flexible working spaces to suit the needs and wants of you, the student.
An idea that is accessible within some parts of the University but not for all. I believe we deserve equal access to the resources we, the students need at the time to suit our busy schedule. Through the introduction of a centralised area we will be able to improve our performance as students. This could include further study spaces, the option to busy essential study items such as stationary and so much more.
PAL is awesome way to build upon additional academic support through peer to peer experience. The attitude and engagement towards PAL at present is varied. Some love it, some hate it. I want to work with the student body to eliminate the stigma around the service and improve how we perceive the service.
