Hi, I’m Kieran I am currently studying a masters in ecology. I am also running to be the MHLS postgraduate taught faculty representative.
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.
We are part of one of the largest faculties in the school and we as postgrads 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:
- A robust and expanded research environment
- Listening to the issues that are important across the faculty and getting them resolved
- Better promotion of the faculty both within and outside Queens
- Greater resources to be made available within the faculty for postgrads
- Holding the university to account where it fails us
- The promotion of sustainability within the faculty
- More events, initiatives and opportunities centred on our faculty
- The streamlining and centralising of the scholarship system, to ensure you don’t miss opportunities you deserve
- Programs to provide a warmer welcome both for students from outside Queens and returning students, within the faculty
- 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 MHLS; vote Kieran for representative. We are the 25%!
