Why are you applying for this role?
🌸Hey guys🌸 My name is Ingrid and I'm running to be your next SU President. I am running for the role of SU President because I want to make the changes and provide the support that I wish I had during my time at Essex.
Some of my ideas...
Student Activism:
⭐️Continue with the current efforts to divest and move away from any partnerships the University has with BAE Systems.
⭐️Begin a discussion between Students` Unions across the UK regarding Student Loans
Student Welfare:
⭐️Ensure the SU pressures and supports the University to accommodate religious festivals in relation to exams and assessments.
⭐️Advocate for affordable meals on campus
Southend:
⭐️Ensure Southend students receive continued support throughout their transition to Colchester Campus. I have many more ideas that I want to make reality. If you see me around campus, feel free to stop me and have a chat!
What skills and experience would you bring to the role?
To share a bit more about myself...I am 22 years old, and I am a in my final year of undergrad studying International Relations. My hobbies and interests include fashion sustainability, upcycling old clothes into new items, baking, and travelling. Within the University, I have kept myself busy with many things, from nights out to sports clubs. Recently, I became a Student Ambassador and begun working on my Capstone Community Project which involves sustainability on campus. By drawing on my own student experience and listening to what students at Essex want, I hope to be able to support all Essex students by bringing new and exciting ideas and guidance through the difficult issues, from the closure to Southend to making campus a more accessible and lively place. Together, let’s create the change that reflects the students of today! 💖
