Hi everyone, I’m Yi, the current Deputy President of Education at ICU. Over the past year, I've devoted as a board member. Here's how I’ve dedicated myself to Union development:
Devotion in Union Development:
- Education EDI and Widening Participation: Promoted language support, participated in the Access and Participation Plan, and promoted widening participation projects. Worked to understand the difficulties faced by both the Union and the College.
- Suggested Solutions to Staffing Issues: Provided input on Union staffing problems and participated in recruitment panels. This has given me a deep understanding of the recruitment processes within the Union.
- Transparent Communication: Regularly provided updates on progress related to education-related objectives, fostering transparency and accountability within the Board and the wider student body.
- Student Representation: Led student representatives and bridged information between departments, the Union, and the College. This has helped me understand students’ requirements and difficulties on each side.
Goals as a Student Trustee:
- Support Union Strategies: Oversee the Union strategy, EDI strategy, mental health strategy, and sustainability objectives.
- Staffing Oversight: Ensure comprehensive support for future Officer Trustees from the union staff team and provide more union support to student-run activities.
- Advocate for Funding: Support Officer Trustees in securing a larger block grant for the Union.
- Legal Compliance: Ensure that the Union remains compliant with the legal regulations outlined by the Charity Commission.
- Communication with Students: Communicate with the wider student body, providing public knowledge on Union decisions, achievements, challenges, and the difficulties behind them.
Please vote Yi for Student Trustees! Thanks!
