**River Rose Fitzgerald**

Hello, my name is River and I am a first year student studying Primary Education with QTS. My passions include dancing, volunteering at animal sanctuaries and talking to lots of people from all different backgrounds. 
If you were to choose me as your student governor then I would ensure that not only do you have a voice in a certain parts of a decision but throughout every stage of a decision that is being made. I would also provide statistics and data of how your opinions and voice has been used in order to make lots of higher up decisions. I think it is incredibly important that we not only have our say but see our voice in action. 
I would like to take full advantage of our beautful campus and host a plethora of activities and talks to not only reach those who are using their voice currently but also for those who might feel hesitate to raise their opinions/ concerns. Talking is fun! We as humans engage best with decision making when we feel supported and validated and these talks and activities would highlight this significantly. 
I hope you will consider me for Student Governor 

 

• RE-OPEN NOMINATIONS 

You might have seen RON listed as a candidate in our elections before.  Don’t get confused though, RON isn't a person, it's an acronym, and it stands for Re-Open Nominations. 

If you vote for RON, that’s your way of telling us that you don’t think any of the current candidates are the right fit for the role. So, if RON gets the most votes, then no candidates win, and we’ll start the election process again. 

Students will always have the option to vote for RON in the elections.  They’re all about who represents you as a student, and if you don't think any candidate represents you, then you should have the opportunity to tell us.
