I’m Charlotte and I’m running to be your VP Activities & Development!
Experience and knowledge learnt through my 4 years at Plymouth have shown me that university is more than just a degree, it’s the opportunity to develop. I have learnt this through my involvement in fundraising, societies and being President of Plymouth RAG.
With my prior experience and involvement with our SU, I believe I have the understanding and drive to be the VP Activities & Development that you deserve.
- Funding: Society expenses have increased due to higher student engagement, yet the amount provided to societies has stayed the same. I propose to increase the available money provided by the university to reduce this strain and support societies to expand and develop.
- External Speaker Policy: With lengthy processes within the university for approving societies’ events with external speakers, it’s difficult to advertise and market the events effectively. I will review this policy and lobby the university to rethink their approval processes, to create one that benefits our students.
- Communications: I will review how events are shared, exploring a platform that can be utilised by societies and volunteers for the proper advertisement of opportunities to the student body. I will also support our student media groups to become more sustainable as they aren’t working in their current format.
- Volunteering: I will work to support and integrate the volunteering on campus, offering more volunteering opportunities and fundraising resources to societies in support of them achieving their ICONS.
