A bit about me
Hi! I’m Sanaa, your Vice President of Activities & Participations here at UWLSU. I’ve just completed my master’s degree in business, and I’m incredibly excited to bring fresh ideas and meaningful change to the student social scene.
During my time at UWL, I’ve been an active committee member of the Business Society, Aviation Society, and even adopted the International Students Society (though time got the better of me!). Now, I’m looking forward to working closely with all student groups, offering the support they need to thrive.
Regularly attending SU events opened my eyes to how much potential there is to create even more inclusive, engaging, and diverse experiences, and that’s exactly what I’m here to do. I’m extremely approachable, so if you’ve got ideas, feedback, or just want a chat then reach out!
My priorities and what I’m hoping to achieve this year
1. Academic Societies & Student Belonging
This priority focuses on establishing active academic societies across every school. These communities will help students develop professional networks and enhance their university experience beyond the classroom.
Key Goals
-
Establish an active academic society in every school by the end of the year.
-
Deliver at least one activity for each academic society.
-
Ensure 70% of society members report feeling more connected and making new friends through their involvement.
2. Leadership Development & Campus Community
This priority aims to expand opportunities for student leadership, skills development, and community building. A particular focus will be placed on supporting underrepresented and commuter students to feel included, engaged and empowered as future student leaders.
Key Goals
-
Deliver 3-4 leadership and skills development workshops throughout the year.
-
Host 1-2 flagship events engaging at least 150 students.
-
Launch a student leadership initiative that celebrates achievement and promotes inclusion on campus.
3. Home Student Engagement & Support
Improving home student engagement is a key priority, ensuring students are aware of available support services, feel welcomed within the Students’ Union, and actively participate in university life.
Key Goals
-
Deliver targeted campaigns reaching at least 250 home students with support, wellbeing, and safety information.
-
Increase home student participation in Students’ Union events and activities by 5-10% compared to the previous year.
What I love about UWLSU
At UWLSU, I’ve always felt heard. The team is welcoming, non-judgmental, and genuinely open to new ideas, even when they’ve already got full plates. The freedom to take initiative and make a difference is what makes this place so special.
I can’t wait to get started and work together to make this year exciting, impactful, and unforgettable!
