Sarah Felkner
Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’m a second-year chemistry major. You might recognize me from my time as a welcome week helper, from around campus, or even from the September elections where I ran for my current General Representative position! I’m now back for round two, this time for International Students Officer!
As an international student myself, I know how hard the transition to university life is while adjusting to a different culture and lifestyle! As your international students’ officer, my main concerns would surround
- Glasgow International college
- As general representative, my work has involved liaising with the international college and the SRC to create an environment that welcomes all international students and informs them of the services and societies available to them through the SRC and the university! I want to continue with this and expand on how the SRC can improve international experiences
- Cultural and International Societies
- With this position, I’ll continue the work of my predecessor in the creation of an international event dedicated to the celebration of the many cultural and international societies the university has to offer!

International students don’t lack information — we face too much scattered information, unclear routes to help (Who do I contact? What do I say? What do I prepare?), and avoidable stress (especially around scams, housing-related payments, and healthcare).
If elected, I will focus on three priorities:
- Clarity: a simple “who to contact for what” system so students stop being bounced between emails.
- Safety: practical scam prevention (housing/job/phishing) and clear reporting routes without stress as we used to have it already.
- Healthcare navigation: GP registration basics and what to do when you’re ill or need urgent help.
What I will deliver:
- An International Student Help Map (problem → best contact → what to prepare → what happens next).
- ScamShield: red flags + a checklist before you pay anyone + where to report.
- A Healthcare Fast-Track Guide (GP/NHS 111/pharmacy: when to use what and how).
- Monthly transparency: You raised / I did / What changed.
I’ve led large student teams and delivered solutions on complex issues.
I can’t change UK policy or fees overnight but I can make support at UofG clearer, faster, and more usable — with visible progress.
Clear pathways. Real outcomes.
