Hi, I’m Jay mostly known as Mya , a second-year Accountancy student running for the position of student assembly member.
if I was to be elected
- Make sure the students voice is heard and any concerns are tackled such as social anxiety which is very common amongst students such as after the big swap of going from virtual to in person lectures
- ensure the union is making campus everyones safe place where they feel protected
- work alongside other members to ensure students get the best univerity experience ever
I am a trustworthy and cooperative person who works well in a team. Im part of the Indian and Hindu society committee, where i work alongside my committee members ensuring the society is doing the best they possibly can to make uni life as enjoyable for the rest of the students, whilst enjoying University life to the fullest myself, by being given the opportunity to do this for other students. This role of working along side the rest of the student assembly would give the opportunity to tackle areas and problems which are still present but can be overcome if taken the right path.
Thank you for reading my manifesto, i hope it explains why i’d be a good addition to the student assembly.
What are the top 3 issues affecting students? (150 words max)
The rising costs of living which is making it harder for students as majority are always on a budget. Secondly, it would be that their voices not being heard, as many go ahead with suppressing their inner voices which may lead to social anxiety and then lastly it would be lack of motivation due to being homesick and loneliness as many students have to leave their homes behind and come to a complete new country by themselves away from family so it’s a big change that would take time to adjust to.

I will ensure that I work well with the my other committee members well where we will all listen to each other and help tackle and fill in the gaps to ensure as a students ourselves the other students alongside us have a good and stress free university experience.
