Vote Fatima Farha #1 for Vice-President Welfare & Community.
My vision is for all students to feel included and supported within the BU community. My role as the Asian Arab and Ethnic Minority Officer at SUBU has given me understanding of the many challenges faced by home students and international students alike, and I am ready to broaden my work towards improving your student life. With first-hand experience in assisting students in precarious positions, I will continue to work to ensure better access to mental health resources, and part-time job opportunities. My manifesto centres around three key pillars: inclusivity, accessibility, and empowerment.
As a student myself, I understand the pressures that we face, both academically and personally, including the recent rise in cost of living. Through my current leadership role and working with SUBU, I have witnessed the importance of having a community that prioritizes student well-being. Running for the Vice-President role aligns with my passion for advocacy and developing initiatives that address student issues. If elected I will:
-
Prioritise improving university housing service in collaboration with BU Lettings by advocating for more affordable and accessible housing options for all students.
-
Diversify access to mental health support through BU Student well-being services and workshops, ensuring it is inclusive, culturally competent, and reflective of our diverse student population.
-
Streamline student feedback channels to enable efficiency in addressing complaints through SUBU Advice and student representatives.
-
Develop SUBU’s allyship hub and organise workshops and resources to promote awareness of the experiences of marginalised groups in academic and social spaces.
Vote for me as your SU VP Welfare and Community because I will put your needs and concerns at the forefront of my work and I am committed to being a champion of diversity and inclusion here at BU.
