Carter 'Carter' Coles

Throughout my first year, I saw how many of us do not feel listened to, do not feel heard, and do not feel like our views are taken into account. And that is why I am standing in this election - because I share your frustrations, and I share your desire for change. So that is what I pledge to do - to give you a voice, to work with staff and other department presidents for the good of all history students. Because if a department doesn't work for its students then it does not work at all, and it will be my mission to bring students into the heart of all decision making. 

I understand the importance of this role, and the responsibility that rightly comes with representing you. I know the high standards you have of those who seek to be your voice, and I relish the opportunity to fulfil that task. So all I ask if that you put your faith in me, and give me that chance to work with you and for you to secure that change we all know is possible. We all deserve better, and together: we will achieve it.

It would be a privilege to serve as your History department president. I will not let you down.
