Hi, I’m Kieran I am currently studying a masters in ecology. I am also running to be one of your postgraduate representatives on the students' union council.
Though I may be new to Queens, I have always been a passionate advocate for students’ issues, serving as a class and course rep. I have first-hand experience of how difficult the transition into postgrad can be for anyone, especially when you have been out of university for a while or are coming to Queens from a different uni.
My aim is to make student life better at Queens for all postgrads; after all, we now make up more than 25% of the student base, isn’t it time the university paid more attention to our issues?
What I stand for:
- Listening to the issues that are important to you and getting them resolved
- Greater resources to be made available for postgrads
- Holding the university to account where it fails us
- The promotion of sustainability on campus
- More Postgrad centred events, initiatives and opportunities
- The streamlining and centralising of the scholarship system within the university, to ensure you don’t miss opportunities you deserve
- Programs to provide a warmer welcome both for students from outside Queens and returning students
- Better advertisement and signposting of opportunities available
If you want a representative that holds the university to task, represents your views, works with you and campaigns passionately for all postgrad students; vote Kieran for postgraduate representative. We are the 25%!
