Rhys Smith

Who am I?

My name is Rhys (He/Him Pronouns), and I am a gay man from the West Midlands, studying Archaeology and Anthropology here at BU.

I have been in position for the University's LGBTQ+ Network for this academic year, and have acted in committee positions for Improvisation Society, Roleplay Society, and Iris LGBTQ+ Society through my 4 years at Bournemouth University.

 

Officer Priorities:

As VP Student Opportunities, I will strive for equal opportunity for all students to access the student experience through Clubs and Societies, Sporting groups, and all of SUBU's Networks.

 

  • I am keen to introduce more opportunities for Clubs and Societies committees to receive more training to optimise their outreach and the skills built up while acting as committee members. Think Social media training, Graphic design Training, and Leadership Training, all going further in depth than the base training received at the existing committee training days.

 

  • I would also like to improve upon the newly made Society Spotlight, Introduced by this year's Clubs and Socs team, to be more regular, and highlight societies in a range of aspects, from hobby societies, to those more focused on educational events.
