1. Why do you want to be ULSU president?<\/strong><\/p>\n I want to become ULSU president, as I believe I can make a positive change throughout this university. I see this as the beginning of a long journey in our lives, so why not make it a great one. I want to be a trusting voice on behalf of the students here at UL and use that voice to challenge the tough issues students are faced with while in university. Becoming president is a huge responsibility, but I am ready for the challenge.<\/p>\n 2. If elected, what would be your key aim for next year?<\/strong><\/p>\n There are many things I will tackle if I become elected as ULSU president. Firstly I will be implementing a student specific off-campus accommodation website, which eliminates the need for door-to-door knocking and calling lists of landlords. Another issue I will be tackling is the fact that students, who fail or get an igrade in Christmas, should be able to repeat this in spring. I feel our summers should be saved for travel and experiences, not exams. Also a huge issue, which I feel very passionately about, is Mental Health. I will be focusing on providing students with more counseling services and creating events to raise awareness of Mental Health in today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n 3. What qualities do you think are needed for the job and how have you shown these qualities in the past?<\/strong><\/p>\n As I said in my campaign, I am a man of the people. I think for this job it is important to be able to listen, talk and engage with other students around campus. I have organized a charity soccer tournament three years running called \u201cCollege Court Cup\u201d which brought hundreds of students together in aid of different charities. I feel it\u2019s important to have students engaging in positive activities. Characteristics of a leader is Vision, Ability to motivate and social awareness; I feel I have these characteristics and I would love the chance to prove it if I was elected ULSU president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
