Elected
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

Why does it feel like we have to figure out pinching pennies by ourselves? The SU should be more present:

  • Cafe food redistribution/more food markdowns- 50% off pastries last hour
  • UCL discount in cafes ard Bloomsbury to make up for lack of ambient social campus spaces
  • Sleeping pods
  • Support + drop-in legal and advice sessions for students trying to privately rent
  • Coffee buddy match 4 community
  • Subsidised SU events to experience London’s activities @ heavy discount (axe throwing, F1 arcade)
  • Financial support 4 students who ‘didn’t make the cut’
  • Quicker follow-ups from Student Wellbeing
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
  • I’m your current POC Student Officer, where I was behind the BHM Josephine Baker cocktail raising money for smaller charities- inspiring the LGBTQ+ month shot + disability month coffee. This was the first of the  collaboration between SU depts and external parties. I innovatively find ways to bring change using resources we have, instead of promising unviable changes
  • I was a Student Trustee, representing your voices to senior stakeholders. I have knowledge of how the SU actually works- which means I’m able to hit the ground running and help you make changes you get to see in the next year
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
  • I understand how tough it is, having always worked multiple jobs throughout uni. You need someone who’s as desperate to see changes because I know how you feel!!!
  • As an international student, I see exactly how UCL celebrates us but also fails to accommodate us in our integration to the city and student life. Instead of accepting it, we should be getting an insane amount of support for our fees
  • I have already shown that I’m passionate, and know how to get the job done. Imagine what I can help you do in a full year.

ig @vote4rachh!! I’d love talking to you + c how I wanna push change :)
