Adedoyinsola Adebanjo Vice president for education Hi guys! I am Adedoyinsola, your Vice President for Education 2017/2018. I was elected by you to represent your interests academically. I personally regard education as the key to liberation and that is why I chose to stand for education. Last year I was the Black and Minority Students Councillor and also a Student Trustee for CUSU, ensuring that the union supported students’ campaign. For the year ahead, I will focus on all academic issues of students by increasing representation across all courses with a ratio of 1.1 meaning each course will have a representative as their voice. I feel very passionate about the different campaigns that I will lead such as exam stress campaign. I believe that academic experience of any student is a necessity and I believe that education should be accessible to ALL. I would love to hear from you if you have suggestions on how to improve academic experience of any student at Coventry University. E-mail: ac6202@coventry.ac.uk
