The last two weeks...

Over the last two weeks as many of you will know I've been out Campaigning for the position of Campaigns Officer in the 2010/2011 SU Elections; a brilliant experience...

I've met loads of new people and made good friends with many of the other candidates running alongside me, and am pleased to say I was elected by 590 votes to my opposing candidates 221.

I'm really looking forward to acting in this role next year, and can't wait to be out talking to students specifically on what they want to campaign for...

In the meantime though, I'll be back out there talking to students with regard to my position this year, taking part in a number of internal working groups pressing for particular improvements in the way we communicate with students, starting off with how we find out how they wish to interact with the SU.

Over the next few weeks, as a School Liaison Rep, me and the Law and Faculty Reps for Business and Law will be organising a kindof student/academic forum - a casual coffee-and-a-chat style meeting to bridge the massive time difference between Subject Committees and Faculty Board Meetings, which I can see being a great success which we can roll out across all faculties next year...

Hopefully this will enable students and Course Reps to have a more direct route of access to academics with issues or queries, and has been accepted as a positive move forward by members of Student Council.

Have a good week everyone! :)
