FEVER PITCH!

For those of you lucky enough to see me in the Engine Shed last night, you will have seen my entire campaign army dressed in 118 gear with photographs of my face on their back! For those of you who didn't, the photo above explains all the carnage that ensued.

From stickering people to shouting Cook 4 Comms in the middle of the Engine Shed, I think we did a good job at promoting the campaign and getting my face out there.

So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my friends for being so great last night and putting in so much effort throughout the entire campaign. I couldn't have done it without you all!

Hustings at Hull

After a successful evening last night in the Tower Bars, todays hustings at our Hull campus was extremely useful in gaining an insight into how it is isolated from the rest of the University of Lincoln.

Communication is such a big factor in developing the relationship between the Brayford Campus and Hull, and this is something that was definitely highlighted by todays trip.

Returning from Hull, I continued campaigning round campus and will hopefully get chance to visit Halls of Residence tonight before continuing tomorrow.

Until then, vote Cook 4 Comms!

Campaign Week BEGINS!

You may have seen me walking around campus today, or at least seen my photo sprawled across the university, and it's been a hectic day so far with Lincoln's campaign week starting at 9am this morning.

After collecting posters and unravelling banners at either end of the Main Building, my wonderful campaign team (who I forced out of bed at 7.30am this morning!) helped me plaster myself around the university.

Our first hustings took place at Riseholme at Midday which gave all candidates a chance to explain the key points of their manifesto and why they're running for the position. Hustings are also tonight at 5pm in The Tower Bar.

Tonight will see more campaigning and then hopefully a bit of sleep before another gruelling day tomorrow. This week is going to be so tiring! But all good fun, so will hopefully see you guys around too.

And remember, vote 'Cook 4 Comms'!

VOTE 'Cook 4 Comms'!

Hey everyone,

I'm currently running for Media and Communications Officer in the Lincoln Student Union elections and wanted to take this time to briefly outline my manifesto and hopefully gain your support in my campaign. If you support my ideas for our SU, tell your friends and vote, 'Cook 4 Comms'!

What do I want to achieve?

• Freshers Week is an important part of any student's life and I want to make sure new students at our university get the right experience. After speaking to students it's clear that people were unsure who our officers were and where to find them, so I want to make sure our officers are easily accessible throughout the week, and the rest of the year.
  


• I want to get students informed and involved in Lincoln's Student Union. I think it's necessary to involve all students, at all campuses (Riseholme, Holbeach and Hull as well as Lincoln's Brayford campus) and if elected, will include all sites in Lincoln's SU.
  


• Our student website needs a drastic revamp so I intend to keep it regularly updated with SU and Athletic Union results and news. I also want to make the website a multi-media platform for the students with podcasts/videocasts of our officers, to let everyone know what our SU are doing.
  


• Finally, I want to launch SUTV; a student television channel to communicate with the student body.

I want to make Lincoln an up-to-date Union that students feel proud to be part of.

I've had extensive experience in communications having been Sports Editor of student newspaper The Linc, contributed to Bullet magazine and studied a degree in journalism.

So what now?

Look for the people dressed in ridiculous 118 118 costumes thoughout campaign week, log on to www.lincolnsu.com/elections and vote, 'Cook 4 Comms'!
