I’m Chinweuju Nzewi (U.J), a PhD student. I want to serve as your next VP Inclusion. My current position as a race equality intern and previous role as President of the Nigerian Society has allowed me to understand the intersections of students' challenges better. I am passionate about working towards providing solutions to some of those issues. I firmly believe that REAL INCLUSION is only achieved once YOU and I feel genuinely included. Let’s take the journey together towards achieving REAL INCLUSION.

MY MANIFESTO:

• Lobby for additional recruitment of DIVERSE COUNSELORS representative of all students, especially BAME and LGBTQI+ counsellors.
• Organise MONTHLY SOCIALS to create spaces for students to build COMMUNITY and collaborate with kitchen staff to provide a DIVERSIFIED MENU for the events. 
• Collaborate with various departments to gather relevant support information in a single site for better communication.
