Candidate for the position of Convenors - PHA School Convenor

Patryk Szalanski

Your voice matters, big or small!

Hi!

My name is Patryk, and I am a first year Pharmacy student! It was so nice meeting so many different people across the course when I do! Most of my year would know me as for my work as academic rep and directly emailing relevant staff members and talking directly to staff members about the issues that students in my cohort are facing, so you can expect that I wont stand down from an important issue if raised with me, for you are paying an awful lot, no matter what PHA course you are on,

I think I would like to step things up and try to give the relevant student voices from the school that we all clearly work very hard in! I think it is important to raise awareness within our school as many students seem hesitant within the earlier years to contact us directly, as such I understand that my many surveys have provided a great opportunity to allow student voices to be conveyed in a way that suits them! I would like more students to be aware of the different avenues for contacting academic reps and I wish to be a friendly face that both reps and students could turn to as well!

I think one of the main aims is to get more of the foundation years involved within the SSLCs, and make sure that every opinion has value, because believe or not, you do have rights!
