Tell students about yourself
I am a second year English Literature student from Mid-Wales! In my college, I am involved with the Welfare Committee, crochet society, LGBTQ+ society, and more. I also sit on Communities Committee and the EDI board for my college but I want to take this work further and work more broadly for all Durham students.
Community Officer is not a role that one person can do on their own, and I will act as a line of communication between various parties to mediate conversations between the student body, the SU, and the university. I want to acknowledge the intimidating barrier between students and the university, ensuring that this institution is a comfortable place for everyone in its diverse student body.
I will encourage and prioritise requests from students regarding ways to keep the university accountable, and will do this by being a transparent and active officer even if it means having uncomfortable conversations.
