MAGDALENA NUSPAHIC

Hello, my name is Magdalena Nuspahic. I study 3D design and animation and I am a second year student.

I am running for NUS (National Union of Students) delegate. I am running because I want to make my peers' voices heard on a national level and want to present their issues directly to those who have the power to fix them. I am running because I am tired of there not being solutions for certain issues, or people willing to fight for them. I have been a Student Representative at my course for a year and was re-elected this year, and I believe first in putting myself forward as an amiable and approachable individual, but also as a determined and driven one. I can promise nothing more than the most that is possible, which is that I will strive to be a mouthpiece for You and will make Your voice heard where it matters. 

If elected I will campaign on the following things:

  1. Financial help and guidance, as financial issues are the one of the biggest problems a student has. From personal experience of working most of the week alongside university and still struggling to make ends meet without a loan I know how it feels to be constantly stressing about money, not only for the present but for the future when we will have to be repaying our loans.
     
  2. Help with stress, anxiety, depression, making social connections and all the other wonders university time brings us. I believe these and other such problems could be tackled by researching elements of self-care that different students utilise and attempting to bring them to a university-wide level.
     
  3. Free printing, because we deserve it.
