Hey there, fabulous students of Queen’s! My name is Vaishnavi , and I’m here to shake things up, break barriers, and lead our Students’ Union with passion, purpose, and maybe a few jokes along the way. As a proud woman who believes in breaking ceilings (glass or otherwise), I’m ready to bring fresh energy and fearless leadership to this role.
Why Me?
Let’s cut to the chase – I know what it takes to lead. Here’s why:
Treasurer, QBS Connect & Queen’s Women’s Association: I’ve kept the books balanced and the ideas flowing for organizations that empower and inspire women. Money well spent? Absolutely.
Secretary & Vice President, Rotary International: I’ve planned events, led projects, and tackled challenges like a pro. My motto? “Why not now?”
Course Representative, MSc International Business: I’m already fighting your corner, representing our class, and making sure our voices are heard (and not just in emails).
Basically, I’ve been working hard, learning loads, and making things happen. Now, I’m ready to take it up a notch as your Union President.
My Vision: What We’ll Achieve Together
1. More Fun, Less Stress
Student life is tough – I get it. That’s why I’ll push for more mental health support, fun events, and stress-busting initiatives. Netflix nights? Study-break yoga? Let’s make it happen.
2. Support Women, Support Everyone
As a woman, I know what it’s like to navigate challenges – but guess what? We rise. I want our Union to empower women to lead and inspire everyone to break barriers, challenge norms, and go for gold.
3. Campaigns You’ll Actually Care About
No more boring, box-ticking campaigns. From fighting the cost-of-living crisis to improving campus life, I’ll focus on real issues that impact real students.
4. Transparency & Communication (AKA No More Mystery Emails)
I’ll make sure the Union actually feels like your Union. Regular updates, fun Q&As, and plenty of chances for you to tell me what you want (cue the Spice Girls).
5. Societies, Clubs, and Free Pizza
Societies are the heartbeat of uni life. I’ll push for more funding, better resources, and, yes, free food at events. Because let’s be honest – pizza solves 90% of problems.
6. Career Support That Works
You’re here to build a future, so let’s make it count. I’ll bring in better networking opportunities, workshops, and internships to set you up for success.
7. Inclusivity = Queen’s for Everyone
Our campus should reflect the diversity and brilliance of its students. I’ll champion inclusivity, celebrate cultures, and ensure every voice is heard – loud and clear.
Why I’m Doing This
Because I’m passionate. Because I care. And because I believe that if we work together, we can make Queen’s better for everyone. Plus, how cool would it be to say you’ve got a Union President who’s relatable, approachable, and knows how to throw a good event?
Vote Vaishnavi: Because You Deserve More
If you want a President who’s serious about making change – but doesn’t take themselves too seriously – I’m your woman. Let’s make this Union one we can all be proud of.
