I’m Cloudy, and I’m standing for the post of vice president of the student union because I would love to support both the SU and Newman’s collaborative, student centred approach to growing together. There are several ways I believe we can build on this and help ensure students are able to experience all opportunities to explore their potential at Newman University. I have been working as a student representative with the university and SU during my time as a student here and I have heard student concerns and needs to be supported to thrive in their daily life while at university. I want to represent students as a whole person, knowing that being a student is only part of our whole identity, as we have so many other desires and responsibilities.
If elected, I pledge to work on the following areas:
- Work to improve current or create more opportunities for communication between students and staff, including supporting course representatives.
- Work in collaboration with services across the university to connect students with opportunities to build practical skills to help improve their time at university in ways which support their studies and career aspirations.
- Foster more growth in student staff collaboration and support students to pursue developing their own projects and initiatives by facilitating the platform and connections to do so with new networking opportunities.
- Improve social connections between different years and points of study with more opportunities for peer-to-peer activities.
- Continue to represent your interests in task groups and panels through the ongoing growth of the university to make sure your voice is heard.
