Andy Zhang — Your Voice, Backed by Action
Who I am
I'm Andy, an MSc Advanced Computing student. During my undergraduate degree I was a Course Representative for two years, so I know this job is about getting things done. I helped extend building opening hours, made lecture recordings more accessible (even for live sessions), got air conditioning installed in more places, and advanced a teaching assistant scheme to give more students the opportunity.
At Imperial I've already started: I help run our MSc WhatsApp community and built the unofficial module selection helper.
What I'll fight for
📚 A manageable workload. Our MSc is intense. I'll gather feedback on how long coursework actually takes and push for workloads that match the credits, with breathing room before exams.
💼 Career support that starts now. Recruitment opens in autumn. I'll push for earlier careers sessions, industry and alumni talks, and clear information on project and supervisor allocation.
📝 Fair, timely feedback. Clear marking criteria and feedback that arrives in time for the next assessment.
🔍 Transparency. After every Staff-Student Committee meeting, I'll post a "You said, we did" update: what was raised, what changed, and what's still in progress.
💬 Easy to reach. An anonymous feedback form, regular check-ins, and replies within 48 hours, whether your concern is academic or about wellbeing.
Why vote for me
I have experience, I already build things that help this cohort, and I'll keep you informed at every step.
