Candidates and Manifestos PRESIDENT Emily Saunders, Psychology I’m Emily Saunders, I’m running for President, please take the time to read what I would like to achieve if I am voted in. Having sat on Student Council for 2 years, and been a Student Trustee for a year, as well as chairing a society and working in other committee roles I feel I have the necessary skills to develop the SU in to a union fit for the changing university. If I am elected I will bring compassion for all students, dedication to the job and loyalty to you, the students, to this role. If elected my goals are: 1. To recognise that students need to feel their money is a good investment and therefore campaign for honesty around course costs, simplified processes to access additional funding and value for money in university accommodation. 2. To work along side the university to review the welfare provision, and encourage an open discussion around welfare in all aspects of university life, ensuring it is meeting the needs of students. 3. To lead a discussion reforming the current Full and Part time roles to ensure the Union is serving every student in the best possible way. 4. To encourage a diverse and accepting culture in the Union by arranging a variety of different types of events throughout the year such as alcohol free nights and family friendly events in addition to the usual events. Voting opens Tuesday 4th March and closes at 4pm Friday 7th March. Remember Vote for Emily!
Stephanie Fisher, Sports Coaching Science with Disability. I believe that all students who leave the University of Worcester should gain not just a degree but also a number of life skills which will help them in the future and some amazing experiences and memories. By representing you to both the University and the NUS I believe that the overall satisfaction felt by all students should be improved at our University.
As President I wish to achieve: 1. Money when it matters – aiming to improve the accessibility of financial support available for all students. Also, ensuring cashpoints are maintained and are not continuously empty or broken.
