Brice Cheung (he/him)
Vote for Brice that'd be nice
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?

At a very Chinese point in my life (by virtue of my Chinese ethnicity), I will effectively bring zen into the POC network - I hope to:

  • Identify POC-unique concerns - meeting POC students' welfare needs, be it emotional, academic, cultural, or financial
  • Promote greater collaboration - with Student Officers, SSWS, and other welfare networks, I hope to promote and encourage student access to culturally sensitive and competent structures
  • Create a safe space (more than the Meditation Room in the SC's basement) - facilitating transparent conversations to support our peers and build our community
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

My sixth-form years at a Hertfordshire college: in a predominantly Caucasian school, I know what it feels like to be the minority, I can bring:

  • Proven welfare experiences - as I am already a Welfare Rep (Societies), navigating union structures to coordinate welfare initiatives
  • A strong advocacy background - I am a Course Rep, and have been an International Student Rep / Student Council Advisor - I know how to translate concerns into actions to get visible results
  • My terminally online Instagram account - you can trust that I always show up, and respond to messages with concern and confidentiality
Please summarise why students should vote for you.

Here are the Brinciples™ (Brice Principles) that underpin my campaign:

  1. I know that POC student welfare is never a one-size fit all
  2. I strive for change with a track record to back it up
  3. I will always prioritise supporting mental health, safe spaces, and cultural competence
  4. Zen is gnarly
