Santiago Rivero Fafian (he/him)
Salutations! I’m Santiago Rivero, a fourth-year engineering student. As a former class representative, I’ve seen how crucial it is to have strong communication and support systems for students. I aim to build on this experience to make our School of Engineering more connected and dynamic.
My priorities are:
- Fostering communication between staff and students: Some decisions made by the school of Engineering are done with little student consultation. If elected I will try to make these decisions transparent.
- Community Building: Students and societies accomplish amazing things that can go unnoticed, if elected, I plan to work with societies and students to try to communicate achievements better.
- Changing the way class representative meetings work: Currently, there is only one meeting mid-semester, which means that major problems might not get picked up as the courses have just started. If elected, I want to increase the opportunities to raise issues, so that problems can be communicated as soon as they arise.
As your School Convenor, I will be dedicated to representing all students and ensuring your voices are heard, along with the class representatives. Together, we can build a stronger, more collaborative future for engineering at the University of Glasgow.

Hi everyone, my name is Abdullah Shah, and I am running to be your School of Engineering Representative at the University of Glasgow SRC. I am committed to ensuring that every engineering student has the best possible academic, social, and support experience.
The School of Engineering is a hub of innovation, but there’s always room for improvement. If elected, I will:
🔹 Improve Communication & Representation – I will be a strong voice for engineering students, ensuring your concerns and feedback are heard at faculty meetings.
🔹 Prioritise Student Needs – From course structure and lab facilities to exam schedules and academic support, I will ensure student voices influence key decisions.
🔹 Enhance Support – I will advocate for better academic guidance, clearer feedback, and improved mental health resources tailored for engineering students.
🔹 Create Better Spaces – I will push for:
• A dedicated Faith Room for reflection and prayer.
• Better seating and accessibility in engineering buildings.
With experience in student leadership, teamwork, and advocacy, I am ready to represent you and make a real impact.
