Election post

Status
Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

I bring my belief that Arts students are key to our technologically expanding world; I bring my absolute insistence that we have a place in it. Whether this is through volunteering, teaching, politics, banking, academia, tech, or the law, I bring my belief that we deserve to experiment, to try and to fail, and to benefit from the alumni and careers support that UCL offers other departments.

I've taken on committee roles volunteering at UCL, I've stayed up working as an intern, and I've read the role description.. I'm prepared to do the work to fulfil my responsibilities as Faculty Rep.

What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
  1. More careers services, incl work and study abroad - who said Arts students can't get jobs?
  2. Better engagement with faculty - I'll give honest feedback about preferred lecture styles and awkward seminars on your behalf.
  3. Greater marking transparency.
  4. Better post-grad application services - we know you want a Masters.
  5. Introduce Shape UCL to our department. Already in use by the Bartlett, MechEng, and undergrad Laws, it's an online platform with a private area for students to discuss issues and a public forum for profs to directly reply and make announcements. Easier than a QR code survey.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.

I chose to study Arts because I love English, but also because I wanted to explore the different avenues and lifestyles open to me. I understand the difficulties of marking strikes, internship rejections, cancelled lectures, AI uncertainty, and even just the desire to figure out what we want our future to look like. I'll listen to what we need, and I want to discuss what we, as students, actually want. I have my own ideas, but as Faculty Rep, I will put in the work to enact yours.
