Why did you choose to become a Student Race Advocate?
I became a Student Race Advocate to take practical action and help build a more inclusive university. I’m passionate about challenging systemic barriers and advocating for tangible changes, like decolonising the curriculum, to ensure every student at Chester feels safe, valued, and empowered to succeed.
Why did you choose to become a Student Race Advocate?
As a South African politics student, I understand many of the struggles that people of colour face. I’m really passionate about improving students’ experiences at university, whether that means making mental health support more accessible or helping people connect across cultural and language barriers. I want to ensure that everyone knows they deserve to be here, regardless of their race or ethnicity.
Why did you choose to become a Student Race Advocate?
As an ethnic minority student in the UK myself, I understand the importance of a voice to advocate for students from diverse cultural backgrounds. The SRA role is a brilliant opportunity for me to work directly with the university staff, as well as the student body, to address challenges and promote positive change.
Why did you choose to become a Student Race Advocate?
I chose to be a Student Race Advocate so that I can help students who are struggling to find their voice and community while in university.
Why did you choose to become a Student Race Advocate?
Being a race advocate gives me the opportunity to apply my focus in educational psychology into practice. My aim will be to help develop a positive learning environment at university, and I look forward to bringing a research and psychology perspective to the team!
Why did you choose to become a Student Race Advocate?
To ensure that every student, regardless of race or background, feels valued and included at the University of Chester.
