A little bit about me
Hello everyone, my name is Yash Arora. I’m 5’9” (on a good day) and love keeping fit. You’ll either find me running around campus or at the gym doing jiu-jitsu. I studied MSc Psychology at the University of West London! As a student, I attended many events and socials organised by the SU and student groups. I was excited to meet and make friends with people from diverse backgrounds, and I truly enjoyed interacting with different students and hearing their perspective on life. I am genuinely intrigued by others' stories and experiences, which made my time at university incredibly enriching.
Manifesto Aims
This year my priorities are:
1. Building Student Communities and a Sense of Belonging:
Foster a sense of community by engaging students at satellite campuses, organising inclusive activities, and running awareness campaigns to celebrate and represent all cultures.
2. Enriching Student support in London:
Provide guidance on accommodation, policies, and processes to help students make informed decisions. Expand and promote initiatives around money saving and raise awareness of available resources to enhance the student experience and immerse in London life.
3. Sexual Violence Awareness and Prevention:
Continue to run initiatives around Sexual Violence Awareness and Prevention, and address the importance of consent, and tackling harassment. I also want to address challenges students face getting home safely, and work with staff around this initiative.
What I love about UWLSU
I love the SU staff’s warm and welcoming attitude, their willingness to help others and their understanding nature. Working closely with them, I have seen firsthand the incredible effort they put into making the student experience exceptional. I feel fortunate to be part of a team that genuinely cares about students and their well-being.
