KATE BRADSHAW<br />

Vice-President<br />

Academic Aff airs<br />

What is your role?<br />

I mentor all of the academic Reps i.e.<br />

Course, School, PGT and PGR. I also run all<br />

education related campaigns, lobby the<br />

<strong>University</strong> on the issues you face on your course and lead<br />

on all education related policy. As well as this, I take lead<br />

offi cer responsibility for Coach Lane Campus!<br />

What have you been working on this month?<br />

This month I have been working on several projects but<br />

mainly Coach Lane priorities, piloting my <strong>Northumbria</strong><br />

Skills Project and moving forward with our advice service.<br />

What are your priorities for the last few months of term?<br />

I have many! I would like to ensure a better bus service for<br />

Coach Lane students, a new recruitment process for Course<br />

Reps and also some areas listed in the education policy<br />

ticked off !<br />

If you could only do one more thing in your role what<br />

would it be?<br />

Bigger, more frequent bus services to and from Coach Lane!<br />

What is your favourite Olympic sport and why?<br />

Ahhhhh! I don’t really watch the Olympics (hangs head<br />

in shame) however if I had to pick one then probably<br />

gymnastics because I think it’s the one that makes you<br />

most nervous!<br />

and many other things!<br />

What are your priorities for the last few months of term?<br />

Ensuring the VIP Cards are sorted out for volunteers, and<br />

fi ghting to allow sponsored expeditions!<br />

If you could only do one more thing in your role what<br />

would it be?<br />

Ensure that there will be a optional volunteering module,<br />

so students can get recognised for their hard work<br />

Athletics or swimming, because these are the events where<br />

you see world records being broken!<br />

HANNAH HORNE<br />

Vice-President Welfare<br />

& Equality<br />

What is your role?<br />

I lead on all things non-academic! This<br />

includes such things as housing, crime &<br />

safety, the local community, and health. On top<br />

of this, it is my job to champion equality and diversity.<br />

What have you been working on this month?<br />

I have been busy organising Stress Less activities<br />

throughout the exam period. My survey of Halls is also<br />

underway so I’m excited to see the results from that!<br />

What are your priorities for the last few months of term?<br />

I want to ensure that all of my Equality, Halls and<br />

Community Reps get what they can out of their last month<br />

in the role, as well as getting their feedback on the year so<br />

that all positions can be developed for next year.<br />

If you could only do one more thing in your role what<br />

would it be?<br />

Concentrate all of my eff orts into improving the standards<br />

of student housing across Newcastle – including Halls!<br />

What is your favourite Olympic sport and why?<br />

Gymnastics! I think it’s mostly because of the dancing<br />

element, but also the strength and speed they have is<br />

amazing.<br />
