About Me

Holla everyone!! I’m Adeyinka, but preferably called Ade, and I’m your Students’ Union president. I've just finished my masters of Management in Human Resources. I spent the last year being a key member of the Executive Committee and Lansdowne Council, which has been both engaging and fun. I enjoy watching football team #Chelsea, but I still find myself watching other games. I enjoy interacting with people and watching Marvel movies.

I am anticipating that both our freshers and returning students have the best experience through the academic year. Do feel free to pop into our office and have a chat, you can find me on the first floor of the Students Centre.

My favourite thing about Bournemouth and Dorset: 

The Beach and spending time with friends at unique events.  My hobbies are travelling, and one of my favourite places is Barcelona. I definitely recommend anyone to try it out, and if you do go, try out the Garraf Island and try the Sea foods which are delicious.  

 

My  Plans & Progress

 

 

Students and Staff provided with free sanitary products on campus – Lansdowne and Talbot. Launched in the Green Day back in October, promoting how to have a sustainable period. All sanitary products we used have minimal plastic and are provided partly by the Redbox project.
Sanitary products are available to all students and staff members on both campuses. The accessibility of the sanitary products in the Lansdowne campus is under review.
Linking Street Support to Period Poverty – I am working with the Charity ‘Redbox Project’ who provide free sanitary products to those who need them to provide donation Hubs in the new building – target Lansdowne – possible working group/Ambassadors who would support this and checkboxes and distribute a small amount of donations to Street Support – still working with the Street Support Planning Group to see how the logistics will work
