Calum 'Calum' Simpson

Hello everyone! My name is Calum and I am running to be President for Biological Sciences. I am currently a Student Representative for Biomedical Sciences and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you all. I have had the pleasure to speak with a lot of people on the course and I have raised any concerns to the appropriate staff members to try and find the best possible way to move forward. Having attended SSLC meetings, I have been able to become more clear and concise in relaying important information so I will be able to put forward any feedback and concerns you may be having, no matter how big or small. For many students, especially year 2 and beyond, extra reading from textbooks is required. If I am elected, I will work with the library and appropriate staff to ensure more of these textbooks are stocked with the associated pdf downloads (if applicable), because you shouldn't have to spend hundreds of pounds on resources in order to complete your learning journey. I would also like to organise more careers days at the university, to allow all students to get a better understanding of future jobs available to them. There are a lot of ‘untraditional’ job paths a bioscience degree can lead you down and I would love to provide some insight into these because traditional research may not be for everyone. Thank you for reading my proposal and I hope to continue to work with you all in the future.
