You need an officer who is going to instal change that matters to YOU. You need a pal like me!

I want to run as Undergraduate Officer, to prove that we need to highlight the need for being genuine and transparent, I am tired of institutions getting away whilst claiming to be serving in the interests of students. I need your support to change that!

 

1. A Transparent Campus

UEA has just slashed the benefit of your hard work to get onto a masters?

UEA has just announced unexpected fees for graduating?

UEA sending out emails with random ass opinions? 

They're just justifying undercutting students out of mid air while hiding behind a mask of good reputation that was built on the hard work of staff and students.

We the students deserve transparancy

We the students deserve reason.

I WILL hold all accountable.

 

2. Your SU, Your Voice, Your Reps

Who is your academic rep?

Why would you want to be one?

If you the answer to that is 'I dont know' then the SU has failed you. I will guarantee thast as officer, that I will provide a mass emphasis on our student course reps and an incentive program on top to make sure that the answer to those questions are clear. You need to feel your union does what a union should be doing. You need representation of your voices.

 

3. NHS Bursary For Pharmacy

Pharmacies shutting down. Increased vacancies for Pharmacists. And now new government and GPhC guidelines for Pharmacy Students to take on a more clinical role within the community through development of clinical skills and more placements hours. BUT with 0 help for students from the government.

Pharmacy schools nationally are struggling. Staff and Students shouldn't be working with scraps to get students through the course. 

I will ensure that this SU works with SU and fights for the rights for future pharmacists.

4. Visibility to the Invisible Disabilities

Many students have overcome their trails and tribulations that invisible disabilities have placed in front of them. I will work towards making academic spaces a more welcoming environment for those with invisible disabilities, and across the different faculties; to make sure that reasonable adjustments are in place and the student feels comfortable with asking for them.

5. A LEGO Campus

I always dreamt of re-building campus out of LEGO on a micro scale! I want this to be a generational project, run by students and staff and their donations of bricks. And possibly create a student group dedicated to rebuilding campus out of LEGO!
