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'!
