Pledge #1: Space

---

The space issues societies and student groups are experiencing are becoming more and more pressing. The University is looking to convert more spaces into lecture rooms. I want to make it easier for societies to get an overview of bookable spaces, and increase the number of free bookable spaces on Streatham and St. Lukes.

Pledge #2: Arts & Culture

---

The Devonshire House revamp has not included any work to the M&D room. Both Drama and Music would like to see improvements made to non-academic spaces. Working with the Guild, University, Drama and Music, and the Northcott, I want to figure out what Exeter has done wrong and correct it.

Pledge #3: Green Unit

---

The Green Unit is an outstanding project, winning awards on an international level and engaging students. Exeter is a sustainability-focussed University, so even if HEFCE/NUS don't continue their support for the Green Unit, I want to keep it running.

Pledge #4: International Food

---

Catered Halls, the University, Societies: Everybody showcases internationality. I want to bring this to the Guild: Themed menus on special occassions, themed decorations in DH1, all that jazz!

Close

Pledge #5: Time for Activities

---

The Teaching Day pilot next year will impact societies severly. With the other Sabbs, I want to oppose more changes, demonstrate the issues and definitely keep Wednesday afternoons free for activities!

Pledge #6: Student Democracy

---

The new 'Student Ideas' page has seen the highest turn.out in student democracy in the country this year, already. I want to continue the success and improve it: Mandatory 'final reports' compiled by the relevant Sabb if Guild Council passes the idea, and closer collaboration with the idea submitter to realise it.

Close

Pledge #7: Employability

---

I want to work with the Careerzone, interested Societies and DARO to have a central page for all talks and speakers coming to the University and accredit them for the Exeter Award. I also want to continue the integration of the Guild's IGNITE with the University's Innovation Centre and the CareerZone to provide the best possible support for any student.

Pledge #8: Waterslide

---

Bristol has shown us how to have fun, so let's do it. Whether it's on Forum Hill or behind Queens: We can make it happen. I've already been in contact with the organisers of the Bristol one to make organisation as easy as possible, and have spoken to the Forum Manager who thinks it should be perfectly possible.

Other pledges

---

I want to improve the Postgrad experience: Smoother hand-over of PG Soc, and better distribution of Info Packs.

Even simpler A&V processes: More forms purely online and direct access to societies' bank accounts.

Media Independence: Exeposé had issues with their issues, XTV had to fight for their funding and Breaking News have never been easy to release: I want to be available for XMedia whenever possible and protect their funding.
