Carter Coles

So why me? What can I do to prove that I'm the right man for this job - the right man to represent you and your views? Right now, all I can ask is that you trust me. That you give me the chance to fight for your interests, pursue your priorities, and make your voice heard and valued once again. And hold me to account – make me answer for what I’ve done, and push me all the way as we work to achieve a future that’s bright – where we bring back the respect that students deserve, reigniting that pride that all humanities students should feel.

You’ll get many things from me - but above all you’ll get total transparency, honesty, and absolute accountability. And you'll get it 100% of the time, because I understand the importance of this job; the responsibility of being your voice, holding those at the top responsible. And these aren’t meaningless words – I’ve done this before, and I relish the opportunity to do so again, hitting the ground running and pursuing our agenda from day one. 

That journey to a future we can be proud of starts here. Change is possible, and its pursuit will be an example to both our university and future years. That is my promise, and it’s one I know you’ll keep me honest to.

Our opportunity is great - let's grab it with both hands. And let's do it together.
