 "I ran for societies executive this year as I have been taking part in societies since my very first few weeks at Keele. I feel like they are one of the most valuable parts of the student experience and I want to help them in the best ways that I can. Societies are still recovering from the pandemic, and I want to help give that extra little steppingstone for them to get more engagement and the recognition that they deserve."

"I believe our societies are one of the greatest assets to our university and I want to help all societies in any way possible. Being in many societies before I understand many of the struggles that members may face, and I want to be there to ensure everyone has the best experience possible. One of my goals this year is to ensure greater transparency between the SU and the societies and that societies are all treated equally and fairly."

"I ran for societies executive because I want to be able to give back to the societies I am a part of, as well as helping other societies get involved and have their voices heard by Keele SU. I know that this pandemic has been hard on all of our societies, and I want to be a part of the rebuilding movement to help bring our societies back to their full capabilities. I am extremely excited to hear from all of you, and if you have any problems, don’t hesitate to get in contact with me. "

"I want to make a direct contribution to bettering the lives of students in Keele; particularly through the lenses of the various societies within the university. Many societies have great ideas and wish for their voices to be heard by the KeeleSU and I will be the bridge of communication to helping societies come together and get involved. After the devastating impacts of COVID, societies around Keele unfortunately felt the brunt force of having lesser engagement with potential members and my goal is to revive this and help all the societies thrive at their absolute best! Not only do I wish to uplift the societies that I am part of, but as many societies as possible, supported with my other fellow society executives :)"
