Hi, my name is Adamatie Ovoke Adams. I am applying to be VP of Student Development because I believe I can make a positive impact at UWS. I am a passionate, impact-driven individual with years of experience proactively engaging students, youths and societies for development: through this, I have gained experience and leadership skills working as an individual and with teams (See side note at the footer of the page). I have selected three key areas I will like to work with you on if I am elected as VP of Student Development my anchor point being on mental health; we all face mental health challenges at some point in our lives and we need the appropriate tools and channels to combat this challenge. I will like to improve on the way society reacts to mental health and raise awareness of its impact and in doing so help challenge other problems that affect the student development life-cycle at UWS such as accommodation (especially for international students), physical health, and the silent burden of funding.

• I intend to increase social activity by running periodical social events and workshops across UWS campuses, these workshops and events will aim to support specific areas of student developmental life cycle directly from mental health, physical health, change management with post-covid hybrid learning (which is still new to a lot of students) and improvement on communication in the university.
• I intend to increase access to funding by actively seeking out new sponsorship opportunities (especially for international students) to assist and relieve students with tuition fees which seems to be a heavy burden on sponsors and students alike due to the effect of the slowly fading Covid-19 pandemic. I intend to work with necessary institutions to increase opportunities, create awareness and access to such funds.
• The rising cost and unavailability of accommodation are fast becoming a crisis. four out of five students especially international students are currently faced with this challenge and sadly nothing visibly is done about it; more sadly is the negative impact it has on students who have come to pursue higher learning. This could greatly impact the mental, emotional and physical state of any student faced with such a challenge. As your student development lead, I intend to make a case for this with the school authority to profer ways through which we can combat this issue.

Effective development is almost impossible without collaboration, cooperation and consensus. I hope that we can work together to make UWS and by extension, the world a better place. 

Thank you for reading. Take action.

Please VOTE Adamatie Ovoke Adams for VP of Student Development.
