Being Deputy President (Finance & Services) has been one of the most exciting, challenging and emotional experiences of my life. I've grown and developed significantly over the past two years and I'm incredibly lucky to have had this opportunity. The Officer Trustee roles are an incredible life learning and building experience and I encourage everyone to consider running to be an OT.
As my year as Deputy President (Clubs and Societies) comes to a close, I have been reflecting on how much has changed in the past year. When I came into the role, COVID restrictions and the changes to them defined society activity. Now, we are pretty much back to normal – and I’d like to think this normal looks better than before.
The last twelve months have seen a profound change in Imperial College Union, Imperial College, and the world of Education. Still, the day-to-day impact I have had on students' learning experiences has kept me motivated, excited, and humbled to be your elected Deputy President (Education).
We are still buzzing, and a bit tired, from the Union’s Summer Ball last Saturday. After months of planning and collective hard work we pulled the night off as planned and it was absolutely amazing to see so many people get into the spirit of the night, and have fun.
As a student who has used the counselling service before, I believe strongly in the necessity of accessible, reliable and useful counselling and mental health support at university.
Our Advice Service and Working-Class Network are working collaboratively to ensure all students at Imperial College experiencing financial hardship have access to food banks across the UK.
I have been working on our Commercial Review, which is a development plan for each of our venues - making sure they deliver what Imperial students want.
