As your Physics and Astronomy school representative, I will strive to give everyone a voice and push for changes within the school. I will ensure that all concerns and suggestions are taken onboard by staff and improved upon with haste.
My previous experience as class representative has taught me that a large portion of students get to their final years of university with worries about employability. A priority of mine will be to push for more support with applying for internships, graduate jobs and postgraduate studies with an emphasis on helping students prepare for these from first year onwards.
Another focus of mine will be to create a stronger sense of community within the school. I’m in third year and I have only just begun to feel a sense of belonging. Only after discussing this with others did I realise that I’m not alone in this. My plan is to create more opportunities for connection through things like mixed-year supported study groups, community lunches, and drop-in sessions each week for people to come to me with any concerns (..or just for a gossip)!
I look forward to improving your experience at university and meeting many more of you fabulous people!
