Newman Students' Union By-Elections Candidates
Connor Harrison Manifesto
Hi guys, I’m Connor and I’m in my third year of Drama & Education here at Newman!
Most of you will know me as the Chair of Newman Gaming Society, and have taken part in several fundraisers with the Helping Hands Society, including the Birmingham City Stadium Sleepout and Family Fun Day.
By signing up for this role, I wish to continue the excellent Raise and Give work that has been undertaken by the Student’s Union and work closely with the organisations affiliated with the SU, with the aim of giving all students opportunities to gain valuable insight into the causes we support as a University. As the RaG & Communities Officer, I aim to maintain equal chances for all students to volunteer in charitable causes, either as individuals or with a society, to raise money for extremely worthwhile causes. Students will be able to learn about the work our partners do, as well as the SU, and reflect on how important these causes are to both the Newman and local communities.
I will also give students the opportunity to organise fundraisers and promote causes close to their hearts through the support of the Student Union, and volunteering under this will help increase the employability of students by providing a variety of skills that will intrigue an employer, such as teamwork, conversational skills and organisational skills.

Katie Zadrozny Manifesto
Hi, my name is Katie, I am currently in my first year studying Psychology and Counselling having completed a foundation year.
My experience and skills
I have experience working in and with community projects, including a year of experience working as a volunteer in a local mental health unit prior coming to university. I aim to widen my own experience of working with local community projects and charities, with the vision to further strengthen the SU and student relationships with local charities, such as the chosen charity for the year (The Geoff Horsfield Foundation).
What I plan to do if elected
If elected, I would aim to:
1. Increase the amounts of events run by students for charities that affect them, this means that students can have more of a say in where they want the raised money to benefit on a personal level.
2. Further the community feel of the university by trying to get more students to get involved in societies and events (such as the sports and societies awards and family fun days) through online advertising and face to face interactions.
3. Go out and talk to students at least once a week so students know what is going on in their union and increase the community aspect of the university, not just for students that live on campus but commuting students as well. Overall, my experience and knowledge will be an advantage to this role as it will allow me to set aims and objectives that are achievable and give each individual the opportunity to be involved Thank you for reading my manifesto.
