ELHAM PESERLAY (United We Stand)

Dear students,

I’m running to be the next UELSU President with the amazing team, United We Stand.

United We Stand is a team of 16 amazing candidates from across the world, who united aim to:

1. Bring back a vibrant, transparent and accountable Students Union where students are aware of what’s going on.
2. Introduce free printing for all students.
3. Bring back Boat Parties and Fiction nights, enriching our nightlife events.
4. An improved social life on campus with better spaces and options for socialising, eating, relaxing, and praying for all religions.
5. Getting things done for students through our democratic processes and committees.

If elected as your president I pledge to:

• Ensure a good SU leadership, that works for students and treats them with humbleness and respect.
• Lead on implementing what students have told us they want us to do through the strategic review held in 2015/16, without delaying their vision of their union another minute.
• Have zero tolerance in allowing non-elected parties lead our union. Only elected representatives should take decisions since they can be held to account by the electorate.
• Lead a union that is inclusive and that welcomes all members no matter what their nationality, ethnicity, race, religion, or gender is.
• Re-build bridges and bring back quorate council meetings, by empowering the part-time officers and put an end to the shameful record of this year’s President who has still to have a quorate council or general meeting.
  If part time officers do not feel empowered, the will not engage.

  Accountability is key and this year it has been non-existent.
   

At times where Higher Education is under attack, with students accumulating more debt and facing more issues, we ought to be the helping hand.

There is one solution to this:
