Election post
My programme consists of pushing for the following changes to the union:
- Taster sessions during term 1 should have a centralised timetabling to avoid overlap.
- Will help smaller societies that are currently unfairly punished by a lack of attention.
- Audits for inactive or poorly-run societies.
- Greater focus on preserving societies and institutions of cultural significance.
- Rejuvenate union bars by incentivising socials in Phineas, Mulley's, The Huntley, and The Institute.
- Introduce more specialised societies reps, e.g. a portfolio for cultural & religious societies.
You should vote for me for the following reasons:
- I have a serious desire to represent the voices of UCL students and their societies.
- Building free and open discourse is central to my satisfaction.
- I am empathetic to the needs of a range of different societies.
- My track record as a resilient and collaborative leader is storied.
- Student Vice-President & Charity Event Director at sixth form.
- Deputy Committee Director at a youth charity.
- Elected First-Year Representative.
- As an incoming second-year, I will have much more time to document the needs of students and societies for the Activities Zone.
I arrived at UCL last September. My interest in this office arose out of remembering great promises made at that freshers' fair six months ago, very few of which came to fruition.
Fault need not be lain with anyone in particular. The problem is institutional. Insufficient attention has been paid to many societies, a lot of which have since dwindled in activity and uptake.
I am, of course, familiar with the nature of this role. My intention is to listen. Above all, I hope to hear from you, and I will ensure that our societies' needs are met. Hence, that is why I believe you should vote for me.
Let us hope that UCL will thrive as it has done for 200 years.
UCL has been at the forefront of progress for the best part of two centuries. This union, too, has flourished since 1893, a year that lies between the presence of Gandhi and Nkrumah at this institution. Very much, however, remains to be accomplished at UCL and beyond.
In the year 2226, we cannot say what will have passed, but we can have faith that UCL will have educated many more leaders, scholars, and activists. No matter where UCL sits, I can confidently say that its progressive spirit will only strengthen with time.
