Hi, my name is Stephanie, I am a Fashion student and I am running for the position as a International Student Officer for EU students. Being brought up in two different cultures (British and Romanian) I can definitely understand what it's like to be an international student and what us, European students, need to feel more at ease and welcomed in the UK especially during the current situation, which makes it harder for international students to cope with. I have been a student ambassador and a student rep for my course for a year now, therefore I am definitely skilled and feel confident in giving advice to students about university life at Solent during events and open days. I have a very outgoing, bubbly personality and my greatest asset is being able to speak multiple languages. Becoming a student officer for international students at Solent, I would aim to increase social activity by running weekly socials in different venues across Southampton to help current and new students meet new people both from the same or different background. I would also focus on getting more people involved into finding out what it's like being a Solent students and all the activities the university is running to help students build new friendships. 

Thank you for reading my manifesto and feel free to contact me for any questions you may have about uni or about my ideas. My email is 4conts12@solent.ac.uk or Instagram: _stephanie_99
