Hey everyone my name is Aaron Campbell and for the past 7 months or so I have had the honor and privilege of serving as your Welfare, Community and Diversity Officer, I hope that in my relatively short time in office that I have been able to impact your experience at university in a positive way. But in the words of the late great Kobe Bryant "jobs not finished" and so I have decided to re-run for a second term in hopes that I will be able to continue to fully serve the student community. If re-elected I plan to:

• Continue to provide a wide range of events (business brunches, safe spaces, mental health discussions etc.) and nights out (Rep your Flag, Spectrum etc.) for a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds.

• Ensure that students are fully supported as we see an increase in the cost of living by increasing accessibility to hardship funds and lobbying the university and council to keep the cost of essential products down.

• Continue work on areas of accessibility and safety on campus including more lighting on campus, making the events on campus (including nights out) more accessible, continuing to support student groups experiencing hate crimes and discrimination and ensuring the safety of students on nights out on campus and in the city.

• Continue to listen to your wants and need and support you all whenever, wherever and however I can as well as continue to work with the SU Advice team, Student Services and the University to improve access and offer new kinds of support for students in areas such as finance, wellbeing, discrimination, mental health, physical health and more.

• Continue to diversify training opportunities for students and student groups ensuring that you all can provide a wide range of events and support to your fellow students.

• Continue to be an outspoken champion for diversity and equality on campus and in Norwich, challenging both the SU and university to ensure that they are speaking up for and protecting underrepresented and marginalized groups. 

• Continuing to ensure that SU puts policies and practices in place to ensure that SU can be truly representative of all students.

During my relatively brief time in office I am so proud of what we all have achieved together: from lobbying the government not to lower the student loan repayment threshold, getting the Vice Chancellor to agree to sign the pledge to end the use of NDA's in cases of sexual harassment, introducing anti-spiking devices and other safety features to all of our nights out as well as so much more, together we have been able to impact the university for the better and I truly believe that if I were blessed with another year in office that we could do so much more!

I humbly ask that this election season you #StayWithDoubleA and vote Aaron Campbell for Welfare, Community and Diversity Officer.

Blessings,

Double A
