I will improve the effectiveness of student activities by ensuring that employability opportunities within societies and more projects (I will help to create) have been communicated well.
- Increase awareness of student societies throughout the University via marketing on the portal to know about all societies. Make it clear which societies are part of the student union and have committee names/contacts.
- Increase Opportunities - Ensure the value of employability within projects to improve engagement. I will help run Projects throughout the year and create more work positions for students such as in social media, fundraising and events management. I would welcome student suggestions on different projects we could run.
- Improve Connections - I will make sure committees know about meetings with each other and I will suggest ways to collaborate with one another. More so, I will provide them with suggestions to get more work and volunteering involved in their socials/activities.
I have experience of creating effective opportunities from being a president of a society, being a peer mentor and being a student representative for 3 years which has all helped me to help lead people into positions and motivate individuals. I have helped people add more to their CV and provided them with interviewing subjects due to being able to delegate jobs. I did a degree in Philosophy with a minor in Anthropology at the University of Southampton which has helped to broaden my skills and knowledge about best practice.
