LGBTQ+ Officer Candidates for voluntary roles International Students Officer Faith & Belief Officer

there for them whenever they need it. It is essential for me to care for the mental health of international students. I firmly believe our mental health makes our experience in Newcastle delightful and entertaining, and should be put at the centre of attention at the university. I will strive to diminish any cultural gaps any international student might feel anytime throughout their campus life. Therefore, I promise to be the first point of contact for any international student whenever they need a helping hand or a safe space.

Tom Wilson (he/him)

Hi, my name’s Tom Wilson and I’m currently doing MA International Relations. You might recognise me from previous years, as I’ve been doing my BA in Politics on Newcastle University.

LGBTQ+ community issues have always been at my heart. In high school I started an all-inclusive student club, where everyone was welcome regardless of who they were. I also launched the Rainbow Friday innitiave in my school, which has been a day where teachers and students could show their support for LGBTQ+ community rights.

A vote for me as your future

LGBTQ+ Officer would mean a vote for a responsible, caring, passionate and ready for the challenge person. The examples of my previous acheivements would be the starting point for my initiatives as LGBTQ+ Officer. I’d like to ensure that everyone on campus feels safe and that any act of discrimination is dealt with adequatly. If you decide to cast your vote for me I promise you that I will defend the LGBTQ+ students from day one of my job. I’d like to keep up the great work started by current Officer and create more safe spaces around the campus.
