What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
• 1 in 3 students have cut back on food for lack of money. Highest inflation in 30 years! Reintroduction of maintenance grants & student support packages in this time of financial insecurity.
• Promote a campaign of reviewing banking arrangements similar to UCL's initiative, considering important ethical factors such as investment in fossil fuels & arms trade.
• Mental health stigma is rife within BME students resulting in dropouts from university. Greater funding for Mental health services.
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
My name’s Shaban Chaudhary, and some of you might already know me as the current Director and Student Trustee SU UCL. For those who don’t, I’m a 2nd year student who has enjoyed a role in student governance for quite some time, I was the Assistant Director High School and the Student Council Advisor at my high school, where I steered the direction of Council and introduced a Mentorship programme, something that I still run. Leveraging 6+ years of management and governance, I believe that I’ll be able to represent UCL's values and political priorities of students at national level.
