My name is MARIAM ADELEKE and currently a Master Student of International Relations. I am running for the position of activities and opportunity officer because I want to make the University life and experience more engaging, memorable, fruitful and fulfilling. I also want to improve the opportunity available to every UEL student, I am going to work alongside the University and other student officers. My resilient, critical outlook, approachable and hand working traits make me suitable for this position.
What I plan to do:
- If elected, I would aim to create an inclusive and accessible student union. UEL would be a better place to study and begin a career. Every student, whether postgraduate, undergraduate, home or international students would be able to air their opinion and have access to all opportunities. I will always be open to receiving input and feedbacks from students on how best to shape and create opportunities to suit them specifically. I plan on encouraging and motivating postgraduate participation, establishing more societies and pushing the notion of equality and unity.
- If elected, I plan on creating summer activities to help student relax after a stressful academic year, they can learn new skills, develop new passion and interact with each other. The aim of this is to ensure student continuously feel supported throughout their stay in the university.
- If elected, I plan on collaborating with the university to organise employer-led workshop. Organising career seminar and networking events to make it easier for every student to start a career after their degree especially for international students. I plan on increasing placement opportunity, paid and unpaid part time work to boost experience for career. I plan on motivating students to engage in monitoring programs, this would help student identify their goals. This will also enable us to create opportunities that best suit them because what we consider as opportunity varies among us students.
