Election post
Hi everyone, I’m Yiling (Cynthia) from the Institute of Education. With a background in Applied Linguistics and experience in cross-cultural communication and event organization, I’ve learned how to listen, collaborate, and connect people from diverse backgrounds. As a Faculty Rep, I will bring strong communication skills, empathy, and commitment to representing students’ voices and promoting open dialogue between students and staff. I aim to help build an inclusive and supportive community where everyone feels respected, informed, and encouraged to contribute.
If elected, I hope to build a diverse, inclusive, and supportive community within the Institute of Education. My goal is to ensure every student’s voice is heard and valued, and feedback is represented constructively in faculty discussions. I will strengthen communication between students, staff, and the Students’ Union, making sure information and opportunities are shared clearly. Most importantly, I hope to foster a stronger sense of belonging and collaboration, where students from all backgrounds feel respected, supported, and empowered to shape a better learning experience together.
Students should vote for me because I care deeply about equality, inclusion, and student wellbeing. Coming from an international school background, I understand the diverse challenges international students face and value treating everyone with fairness and respect. My experience in cross-cultural communication and event organisation has taught me how to listen, collaborate, and represent different voices effectively. As your Faculty Rep, I will strengthen communication between students and staff and help build a supportive and inclusive community where every student feels valued and heard.
