Steven Ji

Dear Biological Sciences cohort:

I hope you are doing well. I am Steven Ji, a final-year Biological Sciences student. In the last two years, I served as the Year 1 and Year 2 Academic Representatives to promote communication between students and staff. Now, eager to go further, I am running for the Year 3 Academic Representative.

Through my last two years of experience in representing Biological Sciences, I understood how academic representatives work. I designed questionnaires to collect student opinions, raised student affairs in the staff-student committee meetings and returned staff feedback to students. Over the course, I became more proficient as an Academic Representative.

In doing this, I also realised the importance of my role. Timely, effective communication is the key to success in it.

Therefore, if I am elected to be the Year 3 Academic Representative, I will:

• Respond to email enquiries promptly.
• Attend staff-student committee meetings to reflect on students' opinions.
• Support students using learning technologies, including BlackBoard, ePortfolio, and Turnitin.
• Share graduate school information, including information sessions, fellowships, project themes, etc.

The list above is not exhaustive: I will try my best to ensure student's learning experience and access to postgraduate opportunities.

Thank you, and please vote for me.

Sincerely,

Steven Ji
