Hi there!
My name is George, and I’m running for re-election as LGBT+ Officer.
Throughout the last academic year, I have made some great strides towards improving the student experience for our LGBTQ+ community at Newcastle. I had a late start to the year, only being elected to the role in September council, but despite the slow start, I am incredibly proud of the progress I have made.
Anyone who has held an officer position previously will be painfully aware of how long changes can take to come to fruition within the university; to this end, I would love another year to push forward my goals. Already this year, I have worked to broaden the use of pronouns in all electronic communications, having attended both the cross-faculty education committee and the university education committee regarding this. However, there is simply not enough funding put into the improvement of the trans experience at Newcastle. I would like to see more funding allocated to the trans community by the university.
Your vote for me would mean another year I will devote to improving the student experience for all members of the LGBTQ+ Community at Newcastle.
Thank you for reading :)
