Sophie-Ann Bain studying Business, Marketing & Tourism NQ at UHI North, West & Hebrides in Thurso. The role I am running for is Vice President off Education. Here are a few issues I have spotted since studying with UHI which I would like to change is the student accommodation being more expensive so looking to get it affordable for our students. Also have more students in campuses than studying at home as students would find it useful using the campuses and social opportunities as part of student experience.
Why students should vote for me. Being a local officer before in North, West & Hebrides I can see that our students are struggling finding affordable accommodation in rural areas which I was like to see changes to help our students. I have the skills and knowledge which I have learned in the role before to continue and dig deep and looking into this more, taking this to UHI and let them see the cost off accommodation for the students. I would also like to see more students in campuses as if they are not in campuses, they are not getting the social experience and the support students need on their courses.
I have been an depute officer for 2 years now and I really enjoy pushing for our students’ voices to be heard.
I vote for me, and I will change to improve the accommodation and the social experience for the better.
