The New VPDR!

g
Well, it's Sunday 3rd August and after a manic final week, I am now no longer the VPDR.
g
But a quiet Sunday afternoon seemed like the perfect time to wrap up this blog.
g
So, exciting times, you now have a new VPDR - Hannah Lazell!
g
We have spent all of July handing over to our Elects and I have been passing on to Hannah everything that I know (or at least everything that I can remember). Her handover folder is nice & chunky and Hannah has inherited all of my old files. Plus, naturally, she is the new owner of the giant inflatable letters!
g
Hannah will be an amazing VPDR and has a whole host of quality experience and expertise in the Guild of Students, including a year as an Independent Chair, several years on Guild Council and much volunteering with Kids Adventure. She has also experienced life as a Post-Graduate and studied abroad for a year in New Zealand!
g
Her campaigns for the year include:-
  • a review of Guild Council, especially how it will fit into the new University College structure.
  • consulting students about the design of the Guild's new bar.
  • supporting the EEO to help reduce the Guild's carbon footprint.
  • working with the VPSAD to ensure student bands can perform at the Guild.
  • and, of course, increasing voter turnout and encouraging more candidates to run in Guild elections!
The new Officer team moved into our/their offices on Friday. They have also started up their blogs - check 'em out now!

Good luck, Hannah - you will have an awesome year.
