Candidate for the position of SU President

About Me

Hi, I’m Cameron and I’m running to be your SU President.

I came to Bath to study Computer Science, I didn’t really think too hard about the other aspects of uni life, but it quickly became clear to me there was much more to my university experience. I involved myself with different clubs, particularly archery, for which I have sat on committee for two years, adjusted to the Bath club scene by embracing the cheesy music and learning the words and perfect dance moves to all of the nightclubs’ twelve songs, and this year started to get involved with the new politics and activism sub-group. Recent events have inspired the student body to be heard, and shown me that we can make a difference, which is why I want to be your next President, to secure the change that you want!

Top Priorities

  • Provide all of the information and support that students need in one place.
  • Secure more student spaces as room becomes available on the completion of the School of Management building.
  • Be proactive in tackling the biggest issues faced by all student groups, especially those who are typically underrepresented.
  • Get savings for students and promote involvement with an SU loyalty scheme.

Manifesto

Standring For You!

University's an important time in your life, not just for getting your degree, but for discovering who you are. As such, the student experience needs to be the best it can possibly be, but in recent years student satisfaction has fallen and the University has been getting all the wrong sort of attention. Bath is a great university, but it can be better than great, and I won't be content until we lead the country in student satisfaction again. That begins with the Student Union, and it's why I'm running to be your next SU President.

Standring for Transparency

With the recent controversy surrounding the University's governance, now is the time to restore faith in senior management. I'll push for as much open communication as possible from the University in the wake of the Halpin Partnership's governance effectiveness review to get the highest possible student participation in the way the University runs.

The SU can also do more to communicate with students. I'll make regular updates on the progress of SU policies and what I'm up to, so that you can make sure the SU is prioritising the issues that matter most to you.

Standring for Support

Students can be put under a lot of stress at university, and it's important that everything is done to get students the support they need to maintain their mental health. I'll promote not only awareness, but understanding of mental health issues, integrate support services with the SU website and secure mental health as a top priority for the SU and the University.

Standring for Space

When the new School of Management building is completed, I'll endeavour to secure as much of the space freed up across campus for student social and study spaces. I'll also encourage better use of existing spaces by making sure you can see all current available student spaces online.

Standring for Savings

Everybody likes having a little extra money, so I'll work on an SU loyalty programme to reward you for spending money on SU products, letting your money go further with the SU.

Standring for International Students

International students are making up more and more of the student body, so it's more important now than ever to address international student issues. In particular, advertising language cafés to home students to promote integration, promoting student support services in a variety of languages, and ensuring all students have access to guarantors.

Standring for Media

Media groups at Bath are the students' eyes, ears and voice. And I'll do everything I can to give them the funding, freedom and recognition they need and deserve, so that all students have the opportunity to keep up to date and be heard.

Standring for Transportation

Buses on campus can always be better, and I'll work with First to ensure that they understand student needs as they plan changes over the summer.
