Candidate for the position of Vice President Education
Don't Delay, Vote CJ
Hi, I’m CJ and I’m standing to be your next Vice President Education.
I’m a final year Drawing and Print student, one-time rep of the month and lead department rep for art and design.
As lead department rep, I have worked to resolve issues from programme level to faculty level and given the chance, I can continue to make a positive impact on student life.
Time to Face Reality.
Rising rent prices, travel expenses and extra course costs – whether it’s a new laptop, books or using facilities, have forced many students into part time work.
Students are relying more heavily on financial support from the university, asking that facilities beyond the library have 7 day a week access and facing increasing stress especially around deadlines and exam periods.
The reality of being a student has changed. The university needs not only to be presented with what the students want, but why their expectations of what an institution should provide has changed.
The university has a responsibility to listen to and support students who are working hard to support themselves.
Finding a balance isn’t just the responsibility of the student, but the university too.
Representation
Improving representation for satellite campuses has been seen in manifestos for presidents and vice presidents over and over again.
Isn’t it time to elect someone with experience of being a student at one of these campuses to resolve this issue once and for all?
I believe that it benefits us all when students across campuses are engaged with representation.
Where one campus might have a problem, another might have already found a solution.
Short and Sweet
The reason I’ve kept my manifesto short is because I want you to know that you can approach me with anything that is important to you and I will help you in any way I can.
You don’t have to worry that it won’t fit into my agenda, because my agenda is to help you.
Elect me and I won’t disappoint you. Given this opportunity I will continue to work hard for all students.
Don’t Delay, Vote CJ
