What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
- create a "sustainability fund", specifically dedicated for student led entrepreneurs urchin ideas at UCL to encourage students to think outside the box and pitch their ideas to the student union on how the student union could become more sustainable.
- make UCL's SU the first ever student union to go 100% plant based, indeed putting "plant over profit".
- by keeping student engagement at the heart of things, I hope to be able to support other student-led sustainability initiatives and campaigns.
#VoteVaaniaForSustainability
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
Vote for me because sustainability is what I have dedicated all my life working towards- having served in over 5 sustainability related roles, I believe I understand the ins and outs of what it takes to improve our SU to make it the most sustainable it can be. Having served as the president of the animal rights society, I truly understand the logistics of working with the SU, which is why I will openly support any idea pitched to me by students and do everything in my capacity to bring their idea to life!
