VOTE DOUG GERMAN for
Students’ Union President 2012-2013 “I’ve had some of the most incredible times of my life at Holloway, made friends I know I’ll keep for life and got to know how the SU works and what opportunities are out there. I want every student to be able to have the experience I had, and I want to help them get it” I want to be an open and accountable President at SURHUL, I want our union to be accessible and transparent to every single student at Holloway; for everyone to know what’s out there. So I want to: • Have weekly Presidential Drop-Ins, advertised on social media and the website, where anyone can come along and ask ANY question to THEIR President • Give lots of opportunities for feedback, through Facebook polls, website questions with prizes, even a President’s Question of the Day: asking students what they think about everything that Holloway does, and what we SHOULD be doing. You can’t claim to represent students if you’re not constantly striving to find out their views and feedback. ENTERTAINMENTS: • •
• Introduce a ‘how was your night?’ page on the website, letting students have their say in their entertain• ments Work to properly integrate all the fantastic performing societies at Holloway into our entertainments: • putting shows on the WhatsOnGuide, getting students out to support and enjoy them and making • use of that stage!
