Glenside Campus Officer

SWIZEL AFONSO (SHE/HER)

Swizel's Manifesto:

• Build a supportive and inclusive environment where student voices lead the way
• Strengthen the Glenside community by organising fun activities that bring us together.
• Increase campus involvement and ensure that Glenside students enjoy the same opportunities and experiences as those on other campuses and help build a stronger sense of teamwork across the campus.
• My goal is to make sure no one here feels left out or like they’re missing out, because Glenside deserves the same level of energy, engagement, and excitement.
• Together, I believe we can create a campus where everyone feels heard, supported, and part of a vibrant student community.
