Here's what I've been up to!

May Report

With the start of the exam season, I have been helping students with their individual needs regarding reasonable adjustments. Therefore, I have also been in constant contact with the UCL Inclusive Environments and Libraries Team to create more inclusive study spaces on campus, tackling with some barriers the construction creates. I am also working closely with our Commercial Team to make our outlets more study-friendly to open up more study spots. Alongside my assigned policies (UCL East shuttle bus and Active Bystander training being the priorities), I have also been working to launch a new platform focused on intersectionality within our all Student Network members for the next academic year which will strengthen the communication between the network leaders as well as the members.

How have I communicated with students in the past fortnight?

As part of our work in Project Period (PP), Rachel and I worked with the Comms team to release a PP article and an Instagram post!

My Priorities

Students are confident in connecting with each other and support one another to feel safe, reassured and inspired.

Currently working with our Representation and Democracy teams to launch a new Networks Intersectionality Forum.

Students can be proud and accepted for who they are in a safe community with a high level of cultural understanding.

I am working on the Active Bystander- Student Leaders policy.

Students have an equitable experience in a united and inclusive community, regardless of where they are based and from.

Rachel and I have been working vigorously on the UCL East shuttle bus/ transport links project. We are now taking steps forward with TfL to explore a future partnership regarding a Santander bikes cycling scheme.

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 organizations. 

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.

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 Eda has voted. Please note that Sabbatical Officers do not participate in all Zones and, therefore, do not vote on every policy.
