Candidate for the position of Vice President Education
VOTE! Speak up; Be heard!
Who am I?
Hi, my name is Wendy and I’m running for Vice President of Education. I have been privileged to hold a representative role since arriving at UWE as a Student Representative for my faculty peers. Through this experience I have gained valuable insight, and I feel equipped to represent the entire student population in order to meet their educational needs to the full extent of my abilities.
Why Wendy for VP of Education?
One of the beliefs ingrained within me is the certainty that education is key; every single student at UWE has the opportunity to get empowered through education.
As Vice President, I would work to ensure that each and every student’s voice is heard and together we will work to see change happen during our time at UWE . We will tackle issues that prevent students achieving their best during their university career ranging from mental health awareness to equality in all areas.
I want to encourage each and every student at UWE to speak up about issues that are stopping them achieving their best results.
What will I do?
Alongside many students during deadlines and before exams, I have experienced the lack of sufficient study space in the library.
As vice president of education, I would:
* Advocate for the expansion of the library and study places around the university to comfortably accommodate all students during the busiest times of the year e.g. exam seasons and hand in periods.
* Advocate for better facilities for each faculty e.g. more computer labs that run FEA and CFD for the Faculty of Engineering and Technology.
* Advocate for more lecture rooms that are large enough to accommodate students within reasonable hours during the day; some students currently have lectures that finish as late as 7pm due to a lack of these facilities.
It is vital for everyone's learning to have the best facilities possible to aid in an enjoyable and productive university experience.
