My role and what I hope to achieve this year:
As VP Education, I hope to improve the education experience for all students, push for accessibility within education, and ensure every student has fair opportunities at Warwick.

• Exams, assignments, and scheduling: Push for an earlier exam timetable release, ensure that students don’t have clashing/consecutive exams and assignment deadlines.
• Push for clearer assignment guidelines, and for students to receive more effective feedback on assignments.
• Accessibility: Implementation of Disability CoP (Code of Practice) especially for personal tutors.
• Accessibility of campus spaces (current and future buildings).
• Ensuring students receive adequate support from personal tutors for mitigating circumstances and improve the reasonable adjustments policy
• Begin to look at increasing available study spaces for all students.
• Diversity & Decolonization: Work with Decol Advocates on large campaigns (eg decol week), work with Library (EDI funding bids) to continue work on decolonising the curriculum.
• Student engagement and SSLCs: improving structure and effectiveness of SSLCs.
• Improve communications with faculty reps and course reps, and get them involved with other SU campaigns.
• Work with SSLCs to ensure all departments keep self-certifications in place.
• Continue work on Lecture Capture and support SSLCs in getting their departments to implement/keep it.
