So here we go again. Almost one year later is time to start getting excited about the election season opening up.
This time last year I had very little idea of what the election was like, I had never done any public speaking, and I was downright nervous. Other than still being nervous a lot has changed since that time. This year as Deputy President of the Guild has been great. From working on Mental Health, to widening participation, to trying to improve housing conditions no two days have been the same. More than anything I have learnt so much and I am eager to continue working for students.
So that is why I have decided to run again. In my manifesto I have promised to finish the stuff I have started, as one year is not long enough for any Guild Officer to achieve everything they want. If re-elected I want to see through the work I have begun on mental health by ensuring that the our events on mental health are better than ever and staff training is of the highest quality possible. I want to continue the work on widening participation to ensure that as many students from disadvantaged backgrounds as possible can get to University. Moreover, I want to continue the work I have started on looking at the non-financial barriers you face at University to lobby for things such as; greater and more accessible University health support, ensuring the library investment includes more study space, and to continue to work with the gym in looking at cost and payment options. As much as anything I want to use my experience to get the £14.25m building redevelopment finished so it is ready from the word go for students.
Voting opens on the 17th March. I hope you vote James Coe #1.
