Finn Wright
LGBTQ+ Officer
Hi people!
My name is Finn (he/him) and I’m finishing my second year on a BSc Biochemistry. I love walking around London parks listening to Lana, vinyl records, and playing trumpet in IC Big Band - also being the best publicity officer :)
My main aim with this role will be to ensure both students and staff feel safe and comfortable being themselves at Imperial. I came out in 2021 and surprisingly I was completely supported by friends and family, however I know it’s not the same for everyone. Therefore I want to support other LGBTQ+ members of Imperial and advocate for them on any issues.
My Manifesto:
- Ensure trans and non-binary students feel comfortable on campus and continue the discussion as to how we can make them safer outside of Imperial campuses
- Work with IQ to identify any issues and opportunities for improvement around campus
- Collaborate with staff and students to review and evaluate LGBTQ+ staff training programs, ensuring both staff and students feel comfortable and confident when discussing sexuality and gender
- Collect feedback in surveys to prioritise students when making decisions
- Provide a safe space for students that are questioning their gender or sexuality
- Organise events between faculties and universities across London to learn from their initiatives and identify areas we can improve Imperial
- Review the current disciplinary procedures in place for homophobic and transphobic incidents and hold the college to account on their provision for gender-neutral toilets
