Uniting Our Global Community: Empowerment Through Diversity.
I am honored to present my manifesto as a candidate for the role of International Student Representative at Queen's University Belfast.
With a deep commitment to inclusivity and empowerment, I aim to help create a vibrant and supportive environment that celebrates our diverse backgrounds and aspirations in collaboration with other Representatives. I hope to make an impact on the following principles that the Student's Union already believes in;
1. Embracing Diversity:
I believe in fostering a strong sense of belonging for every international student at Queen's University Belfast. Through cultural exchange events, language buddy programs, and international cuisine festivals, we will build bridges that connect us all. Let's celebrate our differences while finding common ground, promoting unity through diversity.
2. Enhancing Support:
Navigating a new academic system and culture can be challenging. I will expand orientation programs, establish a dedicated international student helpline, and provide comprehensive guidance on immigration and visa-related matters. Your well-being and success are my priorities.
3. Amplifying Student Voices:
Your voice matters, and I am here to ensure it is heard. Regular town hall meetings will provide a platform for open discussions about concerns, ideas, and suggestions. Collaborating with student societies, we can influence university policies and initiatives that impact international students.
4. Career Development:
I understand the importance of a successful future. I will forge connections with local and global industries, arranging internships, job fairs, and networking events for international students. Let's unlock exciting career prospects together.
5. Promoting Well-being and Diversity:
Mental health and well-being are crucial for academic success. I will collaborate with counseling services to provide culturally sensitive support systems. Safe spaces will be created for open discussions about our experiences
