Sabbatical Elections

I know you’ve had emails galore from everyone else, encouraging you to vote; but just in case you still haven’t – that you think the candidates have nothing to say about, or to, mature students and student parents, I’d like you to think again.

There are strong candidates in every position; and the new posts of VP Participation and Campuses, VP Academic Affairs, and VP Welfare and Community in particular have impact, or will have impact upon the experience that we as mature students and student parents get from our time at University. 

We have been noticed; our concerns are becoming more apparent to both the University and the Guild – The entire committee have been working hard to ensure we are a visible presence on campus, and that our needs are taken as seriously as those of the ‘ordinary’ student.

The candidates have noted this too, and I’d advise you to read the manifestos online, and chose the candidate you think offers the most positive points on improving the experience for us, the mature and student parents – or, collar the canvassers or campaigners out on campus at the moment, and ask them what they are promising for mature students and student parents! Thank you for your time, the link to vote on the OVS is https://elections.exeter.ac.uk/guild/ – vote by position, rank your candidates according to their manifestos, then confirm your vote with your password and it’s done!
