As Welfare and Diversity Officer, Beth represents over 9000 students at the University, through the Students' Union, on all matters relating to Welfare, Mental Health, Diversity and Inclusion. Leading crucial campaigns and lobbying student concerns to the university and beyond. Beth is also a director of the charity of the Students' Union, sitting on the Board of Trustees to make important decisions on matters of finance, accounts and overall running of the charity.
Beth had 3 parts to her manifesto when she was elected:
Communication
I will be the conduit between students and staff and ensure an efficient welfare and diversity network. I will guarantee that issues are presented clearly and received by the appropriate parties to ensure all matters are addressed and provided with feedback.
Advocacy
I feel the training of staff and students alike is vital in providing an inclusive working environment in which individuals feel valued. Advocacy of all marginalized groups throughout the university is essential for spearheading appreciation and acceptance.
Mental health support
A strong support system underpins an effective and integrated community. I want students to be able to express their concerns as comfortably as possible.
The SU have drawn up our very own Cultural Calendar based on various cultural events and important dates of awareness that are happening throughout the year. Click here to take a look!
