I believe that you should vote for me as English Department President for several reasons mentioned below.

This year, I have been a course rep for English and have worked hard to collect feedback across the English year group to ensure that everyone’s voices and issues are heard. Being proactive as a course rep has allowed me to grow stronger relationships with students in that they feel comfortable talking to me about any concerns they may have and know that I will represent them. An example of this is students expressing interest in having a modules fair for their second-year choices. When I presented these ideas in the SSLC meeting, the department worked with us as course reps to organise a modules fair Q&A which students found very useful.

If I am elected as English Department President, I will ensure that voices from all English students will be heard and that there is transparent communication from course reps to students regarding what is said in meetings, thus allowing for students to have easy access to what the progress is with their feedback. Moreover, I would work closely with course reps to ensure all types of students are represented, such as international students who may feel unfamiliar and nervous in a different country for the first time, thus allowing their course reps to be a place they can comfortably go to regarding any questions or issues they have.
