Candidate for the position of Vice President Societies and Communication
Your Chance to vote for Change - Vote for VP Robs and Comms!
My name is Robert Maynard and I am a current Second year Undergraduate Student studying a BA Business and Events Management. I am also the current Vice-President of UWE Poker society, which currently includes a membership of over 95 students. I feel that the aforementioned experience would benefit me within the role of Vice-President Societies and Communications at the Students Union at UWE.
If I were to be elected in this role:
I would push for and create opportunities for societies to collaborate and communicate with one another during the year via the creation of an interconnected UWE SU societies network. This would allow societies to grow throughout the year, whilst also providing a way for students to discover new and exciting societies during the academic year.
I would also offer extra support to push the concept of creating new and innovative societies. This would bring more diversity and options for students as a whole. Having been a committee member, I feel that it is vital for students to be given the opportunity to both create and be part of changes which they wish to see, whilst also giving themselves the chance to develop as future graduates and gain employable skills.
In addition, I would drive to increase the reach of the Student’s Union media, as well as altering the form in which it is presented. This would be achieved by presenting the union in various communications and innovative ways. Allowing students to fully understand the work of the Union itself, to help it become an open and inclusive community. This will help to promote all ideas and future developments to enhance the worth of the Student’s Union to the entire UWE community.
I feel that I am able to achieve the above aims for the overall benefit of all UWE students, whilst also having the past experience to ensure that my time in office would be a success if elected. I look forward to representing you, and to push the union forward within this position.
