Earth Science & Engineering (UG): Departmental Academic Representative

Hi this is Slexy!

A few things about me: I’m a second year EPS student (rocks till I die), I’m an RSM café enthusiast, I adore travelling (especially field trips) and I love photography!

Over the past two years I’ve been able to familiarize myself with the wonderful ESE department and cohort by attending most socials, but furthermore through my role as academic rep in years 1 and 2.

By being academic rep, I have acquired crucial skills, through conveying feedback to lecturers and bringing up my year groups queries and concerns!

Hence, I strongly believe this role has given me sufficient experience to run as your departmental academic representative.

It is my intention to ensure that everyone’s academic experience goes smoothly, and all your expectations are fulfilled! Therefore, I aim to always be approachable, eager to have meetings with staff when required. I’m very friendly and chatty so this comes quite naturally to me!

For this upcoming year I would like to:

  • keep in close contact with the year reps (groupchats, termly meetings)
  • maintain a close student/staff network with regular email correspondences.
  • further discuss coursework/exam balance
  • remain open to suggestions from the cohort through midterm surveys or in person!

Thank you for taking the time to read. Happy voting!
