I, Grace Egbonna EHIOSUN, an MSc Public Health student (ID 5640549) hereby present my manifesto to announce my candidacy for the position of Vice President Education. As someone who has previously led diverse teams in various capacities, I understand the importance of effective leadership in driving meaningful change. I believe education can transform lives and I am committed to helping all students have the best academic experience. If elected, I will ensure; 

  1. Improved Timetable Management: In collaboration with academic departments and administrative bodies, we will review the timetable system such as overlapping classes, review current scheduling, gather feedback, and implement innovative solutions to optimize timetables for efficiency and convenience. 

  1. Academic Seminar for New Students: New students, particularly international students, encounter challenges in adapting to academic tasks and assignments. In collaboration with BU Library, practical sessions on critical writing, AI use and referencing will be organized for new intakes, both in-person and online, ensuring broader accessibility.  

  1. Enhance Educational Accessibility for All Students: I will work in collaboration with BU to ensure that more lecture rooms have recording facilities and encourage more lecturers to use these facilities, thereby improving the quality of education at our university. 

  1. Academic Destressing Activities: Acknowledging the vital link between mental wellbeing and academic success, I will collaborate with SportsBU to organize a FREE monthly virtual exercise session aimed at providing enjoyable fun and stress relief for all students. 

  1. Exceptional Academic Policy for In-Person Taught Courses: During unforeseen events such as train strikes, lecturers should be permitted to record or livestream classes to promote inclusivity and fairness for all students. 

Together, let us work towards creating an educational environment that empowers every student to reach their full potential. I humbly ask for your support and vote as we embark on this journey together.
