I want to stand for the role as a Student Union president as I am very passionate about all the students having the best possible experience through college. I want to make sure that every student thoughts, feelings are heard.

I would like to represent students as I have had the role of being a student representative for 2 years and this has allowed me to support my felow classmates as it gives me an opportunity to listen to my classmates express any concerns or feedback they may have

My big plans are: 
- To have better facilities 
- To be the voice of all students. 
- To ensure that every student thrives within college.
- To ensure that students have access to a whole range of activities that they can do in there free time. 
- To give the students common rooms a makeover 
- To ensure that the girls have an opportunity to see what the common rooms had to provide

By voting for me , this will allow me to showcase my ability’s as I want our students to feel protected and have access to resources that allow them to thrive in future life but also for students to feel supported with every step of the way

Let’s Celebrate Our Differences Through Unity in One Community

As a dedicated student studying Access to, HE Business and Marketing Level 3 and working as an approved driving instructor, I'm committed to fostering an environment of equality, diversity, and inclusion for all members of our college community. Having come to the UK as a refugee under the UN Gateway Protection Programme in 2010, I understand first-hand the challenges that individuals from diverse backgrounds face. 

I promise to make sure that all students feel welcome and included, stand up for the rights of marginalised communities, work with student groups to organise events and initiatives that celebrate diversity, and work closely with college administration to develop policies prioritising diversity and inclusion. 

Our differences make us stronger, and if we embrace them, we can make college a place where every student feels valued, accepted, and supported.
 

Mohammed Awais
Education & Welfare Officer for Further Education

Campaign slogan
Support Equals Success

Not enough people are coming into college and talking to students. There needs to be people coming from various industries and showing students how the real world is. Courses such as Creative Media Production should get in contact with people such as the BBC and invite someone in and talk about their experience. Students need to be given the opportunity to meet and network with people in the field or industry they are interested in. The college needs to provide opportunities for students to visit places such as the Google HQ or Apple HQ for Media Students. Emergency Service centres for students studying to become First Responders. Pharmacies for students studying to become pharmacists. If I am elected, I will make this one of my responsibilities to get students into the world and experience first-hand what it is like to be in the field of what they desire. This will provide a high-quality experience for all students

Students don’t get the attention they require, and by that, I mean they need 1-2-1 regular mentoring from tutors to make sure their health and wellbeing is okay, to make sure that if they need someone to talk to, that the college is here for them. Too many students are afraid of reaching out for help when it is needed, I am here to break that barrier and make it easier for students to reach out and talk to someone. When I am elected, I will make sure all students will have someone to talk to on a regular basis.

Adam Faisal
Education & Welfare Officer for Higher Education

Campaign slogan
Your Education, your Voice

I am driven to transform our college into a harmonious and vibrant community. My exceptional interpersonal skills, fuelled by an enthusiastic personality and a can-do attitude, position me as the catalyst needed to make a positive impact at Bradford College. It is my aspiration to be your your dedicated Education & Welfare Officer.

My dedication is firm conviction in the significance of magnifying the voices of students.

Recognizing the wealth of ideas and opinions within our student body, I am determined to take meaningful action to address their concerns. I propose the creation of a secure, non-judgmental space through regular meetings. These sessions will not only provide higher education students with the platform to express their opinions but also serve as a cornerstone for fostering innovative ideas and building cohesion among diverse course cohorts.

My mission is to be a representative for the students. Drawing from my first hand experience with the inequities in the education system, I echo Malcolm X's sentiment that "Education is the passport to your future." 

In light of this, I am committed to tirelessly striving for improved resources and expanded opportunities, paving the way for students to flourish and secure their passports to a brighter future.
