My Manifesto
I’m an Archaeological and Forensic science student, as well as an active committee member of my society. I would describe myself as innovative, determined and have the passion and drive to accomplish my goals and the dedication to see them through and further them. As a third year Archaeology and Forensic science student I have learnt to be methodical and logical when planning and resolving issues and my time on my societies committee has led to taking on responsibilities beyond my role including: event planning; fundraising organising; financial management and being a representative at the recent freshers fair.
Short term goals
I’d like to implement better budgeting and improve the funding request forms so that societies are able to apply whilst also maintaining a stable finance support service. I plan to do this by proper planning and division of the budget over the academic year with the help of a qualified accountant that I want to employ with SUBU, as well as altering the funding forms to ensure that funding is used responsibly whilst also covering the necessary costs. This will make the funding system for societies and sports fairer, more transparent and accessible to all groups.
Vision of the future
My goals for the year are to improve the financial support for all the societies in SUBU. My main goal is to work alongside Bournemouth University itself, so that all the sports teams who represent the university receive better financial and facility support. This would allow the teams to take part in competitions and train whilst also preserving the funding budget.
