What I hope to achieve if elected
- Continue developing my mental health policy, to be put to UHI when complete – ensuring staff are mental health awareness trained.
- Continue to be a friendly face and listening ear to students that need my help, and to work as hard as possible to resolve their problems to the best of my ability.
- Continue organising exciting events, such as the various competitions and parties that have been run this year.
- Continue working to improve the advertisement of events, to ensure that as many students as possible have the opportunity to take part.
What I will bring to the role
When I started this role in August 2023, I was inexperienced and unsure what to expect. Over the course of the year, I have gained valuable experience and knowledge so I would be able to carry this knowledge over into next year and build upon it to deliver an even better student experience.
This year, I have proposed a mental health policy to ensure that staff are mental health awareness trained, so I would continue to develop this so that all students feel supported and safe at college.
I have also been working closely with the marketing and quality departments at UHI Inverness to arrange focus groups so that you could have your say on aspects of college, as well as organising events and figuring out ways to get information about them out to you. If I were to be re-elected, I would be able to start the year with these communication channels and develop them further – so that you’re all hearing about what’s going on and have the opportunity to take part!
Why should you vote for me?
I am aware that in recent years, the presence and awareness of Your Students’ Association (HISA) in Inverness hasn’t been the best – many of you may still be unsure as to what HISA does! I have been working on improving this during my term as an officer and believe that continuity is key to building this presence and awareness. I would love to be re-elected so that I can continue this work, creating a stable foundation for future officers and generating a greater positive impact on your time at UHI Inverness.
