Hi, my name is Maeve and I’m running for College of Asia-Pacific Officer. I’m currently running on the ticket Empower, which aims to advocate for more supportive environment in PARSA.
I’m currently in my second semester of my Masters coursework degree in International Relations. As I started my degree this year, I was able to understand the difficulties in transitioning from undergraduate to postgraduate studies. As a CAP officer, I would also aim to ease this transition in the college, especially for students who are new to the university or to their respective field of study. For example, this could be through more peer assisted learning sessions, as well as events that run later or earlier for those who have limited availability during the daytime. As a student who also works long hours, running more events that are not only beneficial to CAP students, but also run at hours that benefit as many as possible, is incredibly important to me as I understand what it is like to miss out due to other commitments. As part of the ticket Empower, we aim to introduce the Shut Up and Write concept to coursework students, as well as to create more internship opportunities, both of which I feel strongly about pushing for in the CAP role. Most importantly, I would like to listen to as many as your experiences as possible, in order to make the college a welcoming environment for all students.
