Advice to First Years

Try to get involved with as many extra curricular things as possible whilst staying organised - it's tough to balance but the payoff is worth it.

An Update from Me...

28/10 - Last week, I attended the NUS Lobby day at the Houses of Parliament with Leah, where we met with Stoke's Local MP Gareth Snell. This was so we could push for "No More Guarantors" in the upcoming Renters Rights Bill proposal. Lots of students each year are challenged when they try to find student accommodation as they do not have any/adequate guarantors, and can sometimes be asked to pay several months pay up front, negatively impacting their finances for the entire year! As a result, we, as officers, wanted to push for a change to abolish the current Guarantor system whilst maintaining a cap on what deposits a landlord can charge. Click here for previous updates.

My 2023/24 Manifesto

Creating Industry Opportunities

Hosting relevant and fun industry events on campus for students to get involved with, interact with industry professionals, and hopefully create employment opportunities.

 

Creating Opportunities From London, For Everyone

Utilising the resources and strategic positioning of the London campus for the betterment of the university as a whole (events, industry links etc.)

 

Accessible Study Hours & Spaces

Increase out-of-hours campus accessibility to enable students without resources at home to get the experience they've paid for.

 

Boosting Employment Opportunities

I will try to get real employment opportunities for all students at staffs.
