Current Rep of the Month: Sue Davies

December 2021

Sue Davies (Adult Nursing, L5 group E)

Sue is new to the student rep role this year, but being a second year student she has already established a good relationship with her student colleagues. She is always willing to speak with them and if an issue does arise will signpost and advise them the best that she can. Her class WhatsApp group is more active, and she really believes that everyone should be treated equally and strives for this within all members of her group. Sue is a great communicator and will chase issues and report back on any changes to students whilst also making sure she is representing her group. Sue is incredibly caring and highlights the ability to do what's best not just for herself but for others.

Francesca Toms (Business Management strands, L6)

Francesca has been an invaluable asset over her past few years as Student Rep and now School Officer. She is incredibly proactive in gathering student feedback and raising this with academics throughout the year. Her friendly, positive, and professional manner has enabled her course leader to implement changes that have had positive impacts throughout the Business and Law School. Francesca also played a pivotal role in the planning of our annual RepCon, coming up with the theme of “Getting Back on Track” and suggesting several of the breakout sessions, showing her commitment to the student experience outside of the compulsory work and responsibilities associated with her roles. Alongside this, Francesca was also proactive during the rep recruitment period, helping to encourage students to stand for the Student Rep role – she is a real advocate for representation and a huge asset to our student leader team.
