RE-ELECT Ismail#1 Help ME Help YOU for improving your #StudentExperience once again

 

Hi friends
I'm Ismail, I'm your Vice President Welfare and Wellbeing re-running to be your next UWS Students' Union President.

You might wonder what makes me your #1 candidate to be your next Student President. During my term as your Vice President, I have had the opportunity to make a real difference in the welfare and wellbeing of our students. I have opened up the Free Shop, given out 400 free winter jackets to students, free water and snacks during exams, free mental health first aid training, even free sexual health clinics in campus and many more. Having done all this, I don't want to stop there. If elected, I will still continue providing these facilities during my next term.

And yes, thats not all of it - look below at my manifesto for my promises to you.

------FREE LAPTOP RENTALS 
Not all students can afford laptops. I will lobby the university to provide a free laptop rental facility in all campuses just like our Lanarkshrie campus

------MORE PUPPY THERAPY SESSIONS
Being a student can be extremely stressful, especially during exam times. We currently only have 2 puppy therapy sessions (1 in each term) to help our students de-stress. I want to work with the union to bring more cute puppies on campus regularly to ensure students are not getting too stressed.

------MICROWAVES IN ALL CAMPUSES 
Buying hot food everday at uni is expensive. I will lobby the university to provide microwaves in all campuses for students to bring in food from the house to heat up and enjoy :)

------NIGHT LINE SERVICES
Students Services are vital to ensure students feel supported throughout their time here at uni. This is why i want to work closely with the university to set up a night line service for students to use if they are feeling in distressed after workign hours.

------FREE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS
Our University is committed to ensuring students are free on Wednesday afternoons, however it dosent seem this is happening. I will lobby the university to ensure Wednesday afternoons are free for our students to enjoy extra-curricular activities such as sports, volunteering or even time to yourself!

------REDUCE EXAMS 
I will work with the university to review assessments and lobby them to stop using exams as an assesssment tool where necessary.

------SCRAP GRAD FEES
Graduating is expensive! I will lobby the university and fight for our students by campaigning towards scrapping it, but in the meanwhile, taking intermediary steps such as: Introducing Graduation Hardship Funds etc.
