My Manifesto

1. Communication Cake!
I’ll be committed to talking to you, and getting to know what I can make easier for you here at Newman. So, I’ll be offering two drop in sessions per week with cake and a tea/coffee (for a small donation to charity if you can). One session will be in normal University hours (9-5) and one later to accommodate for our part-time students with evening classes (5-8pm).

2. Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion
This makes sure ALL students are fairly represented by us. This covers events, University committee meetings and campaigns. We want to make your voice the loudest.

3. Students that can smile :)
We need to make sure you are happy and healthy. Newman SU will be giving you all kinds of reasons to just smile this year. We are injecting fun back into everything that we do, so kiss goodbye to boring stalls in the Atrium and keep your eyes peeled for something interesting and quirky. Anything you need this year, just come and have a chat.
