Election Manifesto - 2008

Personal Statement

I’ve been a student representative for the past 3 years which has taught me a lot about the hard work that goes into running this university. I’m also a student ambassador, which involves talking to potential students and freshers about how great UWE is . . . but I know it can be better! Through these roles I’ve learned a lot about what students want and how to get it.

I’m friendly, hard working and honest. I love a challenge and I promise to strive to make this university the best it can be!

So don’t forget, Vote Katy!

Manifesto

So why should you vote for me?

My time at UWE has taught me how to get the right people listening to what we have to say; I will ensure the student voice is heard loud and clear! The people in charge want to listen; you need to ensure the right person is speaking for you. This is your university and I want to fight for you and help represent the views of ALL students, international, part time, post graduates, everyone.

UWE has the potential to be so much better than it is, if attention is paid in the right areas. Car parking needs some serious TLC, the Ulink still needs improving and more action needs to be taken to get an affordable, reliable service from First Bus. Then there are the continuing problems with timetabling, deadlines and the general standard of learning across all faculties and campuses. Our multi-campus status should be more valued and all sites need to be treated equally as part of the UWE community.

More work needs to be done with students to communicate all the channels open to you. For example resources like the student reps that are not utilised nearly enough! You need to know who they are and how to reach them so they can try to sort out any issues you may have.

I’m really committed to this role and all the responsibilities that go with it. Let’s improve your student experience and make this university great!

Vote Katy!
