Jingnan 'Bianca' Bian

I am excited to announce my candidacy for the position of Senator. With a deep commitment to academic excellence and fostering a thriving university community, I am confident in my ability to effectively represent the interests of both students and faculty.

In 2023, I had the honor of receiving the SUSU Academic Award, which acknowledged not only my dedication to scholarship but also the value of collaboration and continuous improvement. This experience has further strengthened my resolve to advocate for an academic environment where everyone can thrive. I believe that transparency, inclusivity, and innovation are essential to our collective success, and I am eager to advance these values as your Senator.

If elected, my priorities will be:

1. Promoting transparency and accountability. I will work to ensure that decision-making processes are open, clear, and accessible. Strong communication between students, faculty, and administration is crucial for fostering trust and making sure that all voices are heard.

2. Encouraging innovative approaches in education. As the academic landscape continues to evolve, I will support initiatives that incorporate new teaching methods, integrate technology, and foster interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance learning for all.

3. Supporting professional development. I will advocate for increased opportunities for students and faculty alike. For students, this means facilitating access to resources that enhance their education and prepare them for future careers. For faculty, I will champion initiatives that promote research, collaboration, and career growth.

My passion for academic excellence, along with the recognition I received through the SUSU Academic Award, empowers me to be a strong voice for our community. I would be honored to serve as your Senator and work together to create a more inclusive, innovative, and transparent university.
