Hi, my name is Ano, and I am running to be your Students’ Union President to make sure we have our voices heard. I want to build on the great work that has been accomplished in the last few years. This past year has exposed fundamental issues, so let us SEE real lasting change.

  • Continue the work to ensure that our students feel safe on and around our campus.

Employability

  • Provide workshops on how to maximize volunteering and work experience opportunities.
  • Networking – creating more opportunities for students to showcase their talents and skills.
  • Working with employers both regionally and nationally to give students job specific knowledge.

Engagement

  • Give students a yearly opportunity to vote for their priorities, through a referendum.
  • Create more opportunities for students to engage with the Students Union.
  • Increase the outreach of the Union.

I am currently a student trustee, representing students on the board of trustees.
