Design Engineering (UG): Year Two Academic Representative

Hello! I'm Safiyya, and I'm running to be your Year 2 Academic Rep!

I want to be your Rep for a few reasons, but at the heart of it, I care a lot about this degree and your experience of it!

Here are a few of reasons why you should vote for me:

Proactiveness:

- I believe being an Academic Rep is about ensuring clear communication between the students and the department. I am good at being irritating. So I will email any professors and lecturers I need to in order to make sure you're not kept in the dark about deadlines and course updates, as I believe clear communication is the reason we have Student Reps

- If it's something of interest, I will also do my best to share information on extra-curricular and career advancing events from both within and outside DesSoc and Imperial

Communication:

- I (hope I) am an approachable and easy to talk to person that anyone can come to with questions and/or suggestions, which I will try to communicate to the department efficiently

- Before the first department meeting, I will host a survey in which I and the Wellbeing Rep can easily and anonymously collect your feedback to share with the department. This will give you a space to share what works, what changes you want etc.

I hope I convinced you of my determination to fulfill the role of Academic Rep. Don't hesitate to reach out (I've reached word limit)! Thanks for reading my manifesto :)
