Election post
I would like to continue in my role as Trans* Officer for the next coming year. I have learnt so much leading the Trans* Network this year, from how to plan and manage events for the network, to how I can best represent trans* students' voices in Student Union meetings. I do feel I have much to improve on, and hope I can continue learning, growing, and making new friends, alongside the network.
I am working on a 'Trans* Student Guide' to UCL - a booklet containing not just information as to UK trans* healthcare, charities, and the services UCL offers to trans* students, but also recommendations from trans* network members in general concerning how to make the best of student life (think book recommendations, bars, restaurants, hobbies, etc). I am hoping to have copies of this resting on UCL accommodation reception desks during welcome week, as well as during the freshers fair. I hope that I can be re-elected, so that I can see this project through to its completion and utilisation.
I feel I have made many connections during my time as Trans* Officer, and would like to keep welcoming new students and help foster a community in which they feel they can be safe and accepted. If re-elected, I hope to run a variety of more regular events, e.g. movie nights, bar takeovers, board game socials, etc, and I feel that my time as Trans* Officer this year has given me the skills, familiarity, and connections within the SU, to better and more quickly organise said events. I would also like to keep the 'Trans* Student Guide' active the coming year, with ongoing community contributions.
