My Manifesto

Hello, I’m Izzy and I am running for the position of VP Student Opportunities. I am passionate about the student experience and want to use my involvement within SUBU over the past 4 years, to ensure it continues to develop and be the best it can be for you. I am one of the current Presidents of the Dance Society, having been Vice-President in 2017/18. During my time with the Dance Society I set up the annual fundraiser “BU come Dancing” an event that a range of students across a range of teams participate in. More recently I have helped organise a competition where universities across the country will come and compete in Bournemouth. During my placement year I worked in the Research Department for BU as the Student Engagement and Communications Coordinator in academic research and opportunities. Through this, my knowledge of the university and the opportunities available was greatly extended. If elected I would aim to:

• Focus efforts into mental health and the importance that activities and student opportunities play in a healthy state of mind.
• Increase awareness around student development and employability opportunities
• Create strong relationships with students at both Talbot and Lansdowne to ensure maximum involvement and awareness of the opportunities available
• Work hands on with committee members in the hope of ensuring major goals and aspirations are achieved across the year
• Focus efforts into continuing the work surrounding diversifying opportunities in clubs and societies for all students

Thank you for reading my proposed objectives. I have many other ideas which I feel will promote positive aspects of change for the student’s union as a whole. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have via Facebook (Izzy Ralfe) or Email: isabelleralfe@gmail.com
