Put your education in the palm(er) my hands!

My name is Amy, I am a third year Sociology and History student and an active member of the student council, and I am running to be your VP Education.  Among others, the main reason I am standing for this post is because of the positive impact the Students’ Union has had on me. From organizing events to make everyone feel welcome to being available to talk to about any concerns we might have, they have been very helpful. I could not let go of a chance to support and represent the students at the University after having experienced all the good it can bring. I hope to carry forward the positive impact the current representatives have and take their ideas forward while building on goals of my own.

This role is all about YOU, your education, and your welfare. I hope to represent students on matters relating directly to students' education like teaching quality, library provision and feedback.  However, I know that sometimes we all need advice, support, and a listening ear. My aim is to ensure that every student has access to whatever support they need to make their time at Worcester as wonderful as possible.
