Q&A WITH KATIE ZADROZNY

Q. What Course do you study at Newman?
A. I’m in my final year of studying Psychology and Counselling.

Q. What made you want to become Sports & Health Officer?
A. I have been a student at Newman for almost 4 years now and have seen how much of an impact the changes that can be made by the SU have. I wanted a chance to make a difference to the students that might feel like they haven’t been listened to and get as many students involved in the community again!

Q. Tell us an interesting or random fact about you...
A. I once was on the CBBC show the slammer (as an audience member) but I did get to speak so if you’re ever re-watching the old episodes, keep an eye out and you might see me!​​
​

Q. How can we get in touch with you?
A. You can catch me on my professional Facebook page, or by emailing me.

MY PROMISES/PLEDGES TO STUDENTS

All elected Officers create a number of Promises that they make to students. Their reports to Student Forum are based on these promises.

PROMISE 1: EACH SPORTS TEAM WILL BE PRIORITISED EQUALLY

Each team is different, but they all deserve the same opportunities to voice their opinions to the student union. I am committed to focusing on an overall improvement to the community experience of Newman’s sports teams. I aim to equalise the way sports teams are viewed in Newman by allowing each team to have as much representation and focus as all the others.​

PROMISE 2: INCREASED ACCESS TO HEALTH SUPPORT, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY

Health and wellbeing are crucial to student life and student retention. Health issues are an often-overlooked part of university life, but I am aware this affects students more than is spoken about.​

PROMISE 3: PROMOTING CODE OF CONDUCT FOR ALL SOCITEIES AND SPORTS TEAMS

I aim to make it compulsory for all societies and teams to take part in bystander training. This training will focus on actions that will not be tolerated within teams and societies, increasing safety with those teams, and supporting members so that they feel more comfortable and safer within the community.​

​Overall, I aim to make sure support is readily available for all those that need it.

PROMISE 4: SPORTS FUN DAYS!

​We need to have more fun and to involve more students in sports generally. Less of the them and us, and more of the ‘have a goers’! It doesn’t matter if you’re not good at sport – everyone can benefit from trying out a new activity and keeping fit! This will encourage a better community spirit in Newman!

SPORTS & HEALTH TERMS OF REFERENCE (JOB ROLE)
