Candidate for the position of Vice President Community and Welfare
Here for Everyone!
My Manifesto as Vice President Community and Welfare.
My first objective as Vice President Community and Welfare will be working with the Islamic Society to negotiate with the university to improve their prayer rooms on all of the campuses and I will work to have the better advertisement to information about the prayer rooms to students.
My second objective as Vice President Community and Welfare will be working on eliminating the stigma around mental health through two ways. Firstly I will expand the Look After Your Mate campaign that I've been working on as Community and Welfare Officer this year to establish the workshops that help people having a conversation with their friends when they are going through a tough time. Secondly, I will work with the Wellbeing Service, the Mental Health Campaign and the Psychology department to create monthly videos about the realities of having a specific mental health difficulty like OCD compared to the stereotypes that it is associated with.
My last objective as Vice President Community and Welfare will be looking into establishing an automatic announcement system for blackboard service to inform students when it is malfunctioning. This will help students be told of the problem earlier and will avoid frustration especially when there are deadlines and during the exam period.
