Esther Olaleye
Hi, I'm Esther, a Postgraduate Medical Genetics student, and I'm thrilled to announce my candidacy for the position of Home Student Officer. Over the past few years, I've been actively involved with the SRC, with both being a Freshers' Helper and a class representative. These experiences have given me valuable insights into how the SRC operates and how to effectively advocate for students on council.
As a home student myself, I'm intimately familiar with the unique challenges we face. From the daily commute, which can be time-consuming and draining, to the sense of social isolation that can come from not living near campus, I understand the complexities of trying to have a fulfilling university experience while still living at home.
My goal is to enhance the home student experience. I want to ensure that every home student can fully immerse themselves in university life.
To achieve this goal, I plan to collaborate closely with the VP Student Support to create events and initiatives that specifically cater to our needs and aspirations. While our university experience may never be the same as those coming from elsewhere, it's this uniqueness that we should embrace and celebrate.
Thanks for reading – Vote Esther :)
