Hi, I'm Sarah your newly-elected Education Officer! I serve as a passionate advocate for students' academic interests both at UCL and beyond. In my role, I lead the Union's efforts to connect with university administration and other stakeholders, with the heartfelt goal of making sure our educational standards are fair, accessible, and of the highest quality. By actively engaging in shaping policies and practices, I aim to foster a vibrant academic environment that truly reflects and supports the diverse needs of all students. I represent you by chairing the Education Zone and sitting on the Union Executive. |
My Manifesto
Read some of the highlights from my manifesto below:
| Creating an ethical and sustainable university by lobbying UCL to cut ties with entities breaching its ethical policies. |
| Easing the stress of studying by advocating for earlier timetable releases, allowing the option to type in-person exams, and increasing the availability of study spaces across campus. |
| Restructuring support to study by streamlining the support pathways (such as deferrals and interruptions) and securing further scholarship opportunities |
| Ensuring quality educational development by closing feedback loops and integrating sample lectures into the module handbook for informed module selection. |

Sabbatical Officer Reports
Our Sabbatical Officers create a report every two weeks to inform our members. They believe that keeping everyone in the loop can foster a lively, supportive atmosphere where students feel encouraged to participate and share their ideas. These updates are a great way for them to share what's been happening, from their current projects to collaborations with different student groups, academic departments, and community organisations.
In each report, you can expect to find insights into the challenges they are tackling, the solutions they are implementing, and the positive impacts these efforts have on student life. From supporting engaging events and workshops to launching new programs that promote well-being and academic success, their initiatives are designed to enhance the overall campus experience.
Watch this space, Sarah's reports will come in October!
Voting Record
As democratic leaders, all Sabbatical Officers must maintain transparency in their work. Below is a record of the voting on policies introduced during the academic year 2024-2025 and how Sarah has voted. Please note that Sabbatical Officers do not participate in all Zones and, therefore, do not vote on every policy.
Watch this space, Sarah's voting records will come in October!
