CJ Adebayo Omoaka

Hi, I’m CJ Adebayo Omoaka, and I’m a music and history of art undergrad. As someone who was on council this past year and contributed to events in Black History Month such as the launch event, charity football match, lunch social and more. I believe I'm qualified to be elected into the role of race and equality officer. If elected my main goals would be to push the university to increase the amount of prayer spaces on campus, push for the celebration of East and South Asian heritage month and work with the new VPSS to create a bank of information so future planning of heritage months like Black History month can run smoothly and are more informed and effective. An overarching goal would also be to better the relationship between the university and students of colour through events and activities. I’d achieve this through working to create more opportunities for students of colour to give input on the issues that they face, whether that be discrimination, feelings of disconnect or any other raised issue. Glasgow is a melting pot of cultures and diversity and I hope to work so that that is reflected in how we represent our students.
