Election Fever

I've just returned from the Announcement of Election Results in Level 1, the Student's Union. Ben and I had gone to Level 1 to hear the results.

Good news, I have been elected as the Postgraduate/Research Student Officer 2009-2010! A huge thank you to all those who voted for me, I really appreciate it.

My term of office starts on the 1st of July, 2009. I'm looking forward to it, it will be good to feel part of the Students Union and that I'm doing my bit. I'm also looking forward to working with the next Executive team and Union staff.

Running and Voting

I'm running for Postgraduate/Research Student Officer in the DSU elections.

Campaigning started yesterday (Wednesday) at 12pm, so I can now officially tell people what post I'm going for. If elected (fingers crossed) I'll be the postgraduate and research student representation at Union level. It's a part-time role and will allow me to continue with my studies.

For anyone reading who is a DMU student and wants to know more (and hopefully) vote for me, my manifesto can be found at my.dmu.ac.uk and www.demontfortstudents.com/vote. Voting can be done through my.dmu.ac.uk

I shall be wearing my yellow campaign tshirt around Campus and keep your eyes peeled for my green posters!

Keeping Busy

It's a busy week, with lots going on.

Yesterday (Wednesday) I taught in the morning, attending a PRSA talk in the afternoon, followed by a cup of tea (thanks to Motje) over in MTI, then a focus group, then a chance for some research to be carried out and then Candidate's Questions at the Student Union.

Today (Thursday) I've been working on my entry for the Poster Competition. The forms have to be in next week, so I'm trying to make sure that I'm happy with the title and general content.

Still, it's better to be busy and have things to do.
