In case you missed the debate last week, here's a quick summary of what went on and what the other candidates and I would do if elected to the role 💚

Read more about why I am so committed to making change happen below. As your VP Opportunities I will ensure safety, support and inclusion for everyone on our campuses. Vote for me this coming elections week to make change happen. If not now, Wen. ☁️💚

Why Me?
As a student from a low-income background I understand some of the barriers that can be in place when trying to get involved with employment opportunities and societies (e.g. membership fees and time commitment). I am committed to listening to others' experiences and working with societies to cater for these students' needs.

Having experienced sexual harassment in Exeter I am incredibly concerned by the safety issues on campus. As such I will put pressure on those in power to ensure that sufficient support is in place and that we can all feel safe on a campus that is meant for us.

Hi, I'm Wen and I am running to be your next VP Opportunities! Take a look at the post below to find out more about me and why I care about the role...

[ALT IMAGE TEXT: A mint green background with clouds on it and a cloud graphic saying 'If not now...Wen'. The text reads as follows]

About Me:
Hi, I'm Wen (she/her) and I'm a 21 year old English and Drama student from Cornwall!

At Exeter I have been involved with a number of academic and theatre societies, holding committee positions, taking part in 16 society productions, and executive producing its largest and oldest theatre society.

As a natural leader obsessed with organisation I am passionate about making projects happen, always ready to tackle them with a huge smile and their own emoji-coded Notion page;)

As your next VP Opportunities I will apply this same passion to the role to best support each of you in broadening and making the most of what is available to you.
