Want something done? Shannon’s the one
Who am I?
Shannon Fisher, third year student paramedic at Medway campus and president of Team Medway Netball Club. Hardworking, organised and committed to the job at hand and strives to make a difference. Passionate about raising students’ voices, every student should enjoy a fulfilling university experience. Engaging in multiple aspects of student life, I’ve seen the areas that need adjustment first hand. It’s time for change and I believe I’m the right person for the job, so I’m running for the role of GSU Officer.
What will I do?
Transport:
- Investigate the potential overhaul of intercampus bus services, including: number of peak-time buses, timetabling, pricing, purchasing tickets, seat availability and scheduling.
- Introduce bus services for late night events allowing better campus-to-campus integration.
