Everyday Balance in Uncertain Times
Hello, my name is Eva, a MSc Data Analytics Engineering student at Solent. As a mature student with learning difficulties who came to the area from a different cultural background, I am well qualified to understand how you may feel about finding your feet and feeling inclusive.
My own experiences have taught me how challenging it is to study a higher-level academic qualification, so I want to help you to obtain the support you need throughout your journey at Solent. Following a year as a Course Representative and being the Event Organiser of the Solent Computing Society, I have gained comprehensive knowledge about how the University operates at different levels.
Maintaining our wellbeing is crucial at any time, but even more so during the unprecedented challenges the COVID-19 has caused. As Head of Student Wellbeing, I want to help you to navigate safely through your time at Solent and come out as a stronger person.
I understand that the pandemic has affected us all in one way or another. In this role, I will take responsibility for the wellbeing of all students, no matter their age, gender, race or beliefs and in accordance with the University’s values. I will be your partner to help make things better together.
I am passionate about
- Helping you to maintain a good work/life/study balance through the pandemic and beyond.
- Giving support to ensure your transition back to campus life is as smooth as it is possible.
- Assisting you to access the available pastoral and other support that you may need.
- Providing appropriate support to improve your opportunity to focus on your academic achievement.
- Keeping you informed about events, support and other information of interest.
- Being a listening and sympathetic ear to your problems and concerns.
- Representing you within the community.
Through a tough period myself, overcoming and healing from that experience has inspired me to support others to the best of my ability. The Head of Student Wellbeing position at Solent University is an excellent opportunity to fulfil my mission.
Every single person is important. Every opinion matters. Share your thoughts and I will be your voice in the community.
