Manifesto

Candidate for the position of President

Shahzaib Arif

Hello fellow students,

My name is SHAHZAIB ARIF, and I am running for the position of President for the Student Union. As an international student from Pakistan, I bring a unique perspective and diverse experiences to the table.

If elected as President, I have several pledges that I believe will greatly benefit our Student Union and university community. Here are my proposed initiatives:

1. Enhancing Student Representation: I will work tirelessly to ensure that every student's voice is heard and represented. I will establish regular open forums and feedback sessions to gather input from students and address their concerns effectively.

2. Promoting Diversity and Inclusion: I strongly believe in creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students, regardless of their background. I will actively support initiatives that celebrate diversity and foster a sense of belonging within our university community.

3. Improving Student Support Services: I understand the challenges that students face, and I am committed to improving the support services available to all. I will advocate for increased mental health resources, career guidance, and academic support to ensure that every student has the tools they need to succeed.

4. Strengthening Student Engagement: I will work towards organizing more student-led events, workshops, and activities that cater to the diverse interests of our student body. By fostering a vibrant and engaging campus life, we can create a stronger sense of community and encourage student involvement.

Voting for the Student Union elections will take place from [Tuesday 5th March, 9.30am to Thursday 7th March, 11.59pm]. You can cast your vote online at www.uwsunion.org.uk/vote.

Remember, your vote matters, and together, we can make a positive impact on our university experience. Let's build a stronger, more inclusive, and student-centered Student Union.

Thank you for your support!
