Candidate for the position of Vice President Sports and Health
OUR Sport. OUR Achievements. OUR Celebration.
Hey guys, I’m Rhys and I’m a 3rd year Biomedical science student and the current President of UWE Comets Cheerleading. This is my 4th year at UWE and my 3rd year as a cheerleader; So I have witnessed the progression of UWE over my time here
I have held committee positions for the past 2 years, I was ‘Social sec’ of the Comets in my 2nd year and President in my 3rd, showing that I can work well within a team and also lead one to a common goal. During my time on committee, I have been working closely alongside the UWE Bullets American Football Team.
Each year, most candidates pledge that they will improve ‘sports’ night’ more than the previous VP’s. Personally, If elected, I will take a different angle on the approach to the organising of social events of UWE Sport.
During my second year, I was a pivotal role in the organisation of events held by the Comets Cheerleaders, such as the ‘Frat Party’, which many of you may have attended or heard about! My experience as being the event’s organiser for the Comets puts me in great stead when organising next year’s sports social events.
We work hard and we win, so who doesn’t want to celebrate the achievements of our teams?
I am also interested in shaking up the current systems when using sports facilities at UWE. They’re our facilities so why shouldn’t we have priority over some of the best in the area?
I want to make movements in the direction of being able to provide experience, through projects or even mini internships, to UWE students studying in fields that require previous experience in order to get a graduate job. From graphic designers helping with posters and advertisements and teams helping to organise events, to students being able to provide gym and health plans to our sports teams.
All experience is good experience.
Movements in the direction of making Sport at UWE more accessible, whether that’s for students looking to start, students interested in our achievements or even current team members.
I would like to work on developing a ‘Sport at UWE’ app which would bring fixtures, results and events, directly to the students.
This is our sport, so why shouldn’t we have the best?
Vote for me and I will strive for the it.
Passionate, Committed and a Cheerleader, could you want more?
