Sabreen Mohammed
Bringing the community closer together!!!
Running for Union Officer on Society and Community Zone
I’m currently in my second year of studying BA Criminology and wish
to do a conversion into Law once I have graduated. I’m an ambitious
young lady who wishes to be part of something big like the student
union council making a change for the better. My goal is to ensure that
that there are no issues within the community. I feel that there should be
more interaction between the University of Leicester students and the
community which I will try my best to make happen.
The policies that I would like to bring forward to the Society and
Community zone are:
- Strengthen the relationships between different levels of education
in order to encourage more young people to choose to go to
university.
- Ensure there are discounts for students on taxi fares.
- Advertise volunteering opportunities more for university
students.
- Building a close relationship between different cultures both
within the university and outside of the university.
o Culture-themed evenings
- Cover the issues of travel on nights out;
specific amount of taxis stationed at every
accommodation and at the front of clubs at
student nights.
- Less parking restrictions for students.
- More publicity on how to collaborate
with the community.

Hi, I’m Lottie! I’m a 3rd year geography student, a member of ULBC and GeogSoc and part of the environment team. Last year I also helped manage Jay Appleyard’s successful campaign to be Undergraduate Officer.
I feel that after almost 3 years in Leicester I’m ready to give something back. I believe my campaigning and society work has given me the ability to represent students effectively and work to improve the university experience for all!

Vote Izzy Habib For
Society and Community
Why society and community?
I am engaged and a part of many different societies around
campus, and am currently Vice-President of Activista. From
supporting and running a campaigning society, I have gained a
lot of experience and social awareness which will help me in this
role. This combined with a growing passion for campaigning
against injustices, ensures that I am a socially consciences person
with a desire to bring about positive change.
I believe your experiences at University are only enhanced by
engaging with the local community here in Leicester and it is
therefore essential that as a Union we encourage and support
this.
Liberation Campaigns
I am a huge supporter for Liberation campaigns, with particular
experience of gender equality and BAME issues. I will strive to
make liberation a priority in this role and aim to encourage the
wider student community to become involved.
My name is Isabelle Habib, I am a 3rd Year
History student who has been actively
involved in the Students Union throughout
my time at University. I would like your
support in running to be on Union Council in
the Society and Community Zone!

Union CouncilEducation Zone
Hi my name is George Nobbs and this by-election I’ll be running for education. There’s only one space left and four people competing so it’s really important that you
vote!!
As part of the Union Council I will represent ALL students. I am the only second year running for education, so I am the only candidate that has genuine university
experience and understands the concerns of students, so I am therefore dedicated to ensuring they get heard. As well as this I am both a student ambassador and a
history mentor this year, so I am well equipped and able to put these concerns forward to the Union Council.
Voting opens on Wednesday 27th at 10am and closes on Thursday 28th at 5pm.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me via email at gfn1@student.le.ac.uk.
Six point plan
1. Encourage tutors to scan copies of books – this will solve the problem of lack of library books.
I will ask your tutors to scan the relevant chapter of their book and you will be able to read it
without worrying about availability of library books.
2. Access to your own exam scripts plus great feedback – no one can access their exam papers
to see a breakdown of their marks, this will make sure you can learn from their mistakes in
the future giving you better grades.
3. Cameras in lecture theatres – this way if you miss a lecture you will be able to listen to the
whole lecture on blackboard. You won’t miss a thing.
4. Ensure tutors keep to essay hand-back deadlines – I will put pressure on departments and
tutors to make sure you don’t have to put up with this frustration and stress.
5. Reduced library book prices – we all know books are too expensive so we need to knock the
prices down. We did pay £9,000 for this after all!
6. Greater diversity in education plus representation of BAME and LGBT groups – representation
and proportionality are key. Therefore I will strive for less discrimination in both the
workplace and for students themselves.
Why should you vote for me?
1. Experience – I am the only second year
candidate, so I am the only person to have a
genuine experience of university life. This means
I both know the mechanisms of university and
know the concerns of students.
2. Contacts – I am in a wide range of societies
therefore representing a range of different
groups. I will use this to gather information
about what students want and what they would
like to be improved.
3. Ability to get things done – as stated before I
know people and mechanisms of the university.
I will use this to get your views heard and acted
upon.

VANESSA MANLEY
YOUR education matters.
Running for Union Council Officer on the Education Zone
I am currently in my second year and studying BSc Psychology. I wish to take a
postgraduate course in forensic psychology after graduating from university. I
am a versatile, hard-working and self-motivated person with ambition and an
excellent work ethic. I aim to excel in everything I attempt to do and nothing less.
I would like to be a Union Council Officer within the Education Zone as I feel that
while the university appears to be dealing well with issues concerning education,
there can always be room for improvement. I hope to ensure that any issues
raised by university students can be dealt with efficiently and effectively,
therefore ensuring that all students are content and happy with their courses and
other aspects of their education and beyond.
The goals that I would like to help achieve in the Education Zone are:
- Ensuring there is a wider availability of both hardback copies of books and e-books in the library.
o Books with holds should be allowed to be borrowed for two weeks. o Short loan books should be allowed to be borrowed for three days
rather than one. o Recalled books should be due from two weeks to the date that they
are recalled. - Arranging weekly sessions to be held between course representatives and
students that may have issues within their course.
- Ensuring that all courses have study skills sessions or discussion groups at least weekly or fortnightly.
- Provide more help with examinations across all courses, e.g. making more past examination papers available.
- Enable more effective communication between course representatives and course staff.

I am a Third year History and Politics student from Yorkshire. I have an avid interest in politics, being a member of both the Leicester Politics society and Socialist Students. During my three years at Leicester I have actively engaged many students in numerous campaigns, whilst proactively promoting my views across various social networking sites. I am a charismatic individual who hopes to be given the opportunity to enthusiastically support students
from every walk of life.
About me
NUS DELEGATE
What i stand for• I believe Education is a right and not a privilege, and that free higher education should be a basis for an intellectually developed modern society• Solidarity between students and University staff and lecturers• The long term commitment to greater student organisation in order to bring a proper voice to all students and better local society as a whole• The maximisation of democracy within the NUS• I am against the privatisation of the Student Loans Company• The failure of the student movement in 2010 took place under an NUS led by Labour Students and tuition fees themselves were introduced by a Labour Government in 1998• Their betrayal of all students is abhorrent, and I believe the solution is a socialist alternative to defend Higher Education

WHO AM I?
Con-Dem government cuts are hitting students hard.
Whether it’s £9,000 tuition fees, cuts and privatisation,
sky-high rents making sub-standard
accommodation unaffordable, or our student
loans being sold off to greedy private sector
vultures out to make a profit from our education.
Vice-Chancellors are giving themselves a pay rise, while
contact time is being squeezed.
This year’s NUS national conference will debate all
these issues.Daniel

• No to sky-high tuition fees – Fight for free education for all• Stop cuts and privatisation – Kick big business out of education• Cap and slash rents – Make accommodation affordable• Support workers taking strike action – Students and Workers, Unite and Fight!• Fight sexism, racism, and homophobia
socialiststudents
vote
We need a democratic, fighting, and campaigning NUS that will oppose the austerity onslaught. The cuts can be beaten, but the NUS should organise mass action to win. We need a
national demonstration against all attacks on education to bring together thousands of
students and workers furious about where things are going. NUS should build student
support whenever workers take strike action, particularly education workers striking to defend
our services.
Re-elect Izzy Habib
For NUS Delegate
AIMS: To promote the conference and topics discussed within the
NUS, making it more accessible for all students. I want to have as
much contact with people within the University in order to ensure
that the ideas and campaigns you care about get fairly represented
within NUS; relating back the information emerging from within NUS
ensure our their needs are being met.
EXPERIENCE: Being fortunate enough to have been voted as your
delegate last year, I already have the necessary experience which will
help me to be an excellent student representative for the University
of Leicester Students’ Union. The insight which I gained from last
years conference ensures that I am prepared for how NUS works and
how to influence policies, meaning that I will be a strong voice for
our Students’ Union.
My name is Isabelle Habib and I would like to be
your representative at this year’s National NUS
conference! I am a dedicated and enthusiastic
student who wants to get your ideas and opinions
heard within the NUS. I’ll make sure I represent
the views of you individually and of Leicester
University as a whole.
Contact me : ih80@le.ac.uk - facebook/isabelle.habib.1 - @izzyhabib
CAMPAIGNS: I am a passionate campaigner who has supported the
Union in Living Wage and Voter Registration and have taken the lead
on campaigns against Tax evasion. I believe that we and the NUS
should lead the way for campaigns and engage as many students as
possible in supporting them too.

My name’s Rachel Holland and I’m running to be one

WEDNESDAY 27/11-THURSDAY 28/11WWW.LEICESTERUNION.COM/VOTE
AS A DELEGATE, I PLAN TO:
SUPPORT A NATIONAL UNION OF STUDENTS THAT WORKS FOR STUDENTSThe NUS often gets dismissed as little more than the Extra card when it comes to having a direct impact on students’ lives - I want to ensure that the people and policy guiding the NUS this year can make real tangible change for students.
ENSURE THAT LIBERATION STAYS ON THE NATIONAL AGENDA
As the SU Women’s Officer, liberation is at the heart of all my actions - I want to ensure that this remains the case on a national level and push policy that encourages equality
of outcome and fair representation for all members of NUS.
BE AVAILABLE AND ACCOUNTABLE TO LEICESTER STUDENTSI’m running to represent you, not me - I’ll ensure my availability for conversation online and offline before, during and after conference where you can raise questions, concerns and ideas for me to bring to a national agenda.
ENCOURAGE AFFORDABLE LIVING COSTSWith the cost of living raising to almost £10000 per year
for students, we should not be forced to turn to hours-intensive employment or payday lenders just to make
ends meet in order to get a degree. By going to National Conference, I want to ensure that viable financial alternatives are provided by NUS for students at
Leicester and across the country.
I have attended numerous NUS Conferences and have a good understanding of NUS politics. The NUS is there to stand up for students. I would like to ensure Post Graduate Funding is firmly on NUS’s agenda, building on our campus campaign. For too long Post-Graduate courses have been an impossible dream for many students, purely as they cannot afford it. The NUS should fight to change this.I would also like to see NUS focus their attention on ensuring that the student voice is I would also like to see NUS focus their attention on ensuring that the student voice is heard. By adopting our campus campaign to increase voter registration amongst students, the NUS can help achieve this.
National Union of Students
As an NUS delegate I would be here to represent your views, not mine.As such I will be available before, during and after the Conference. If you have an idea, I will work with you to try and ‘change it’ at NUS, or if you have any questions or queries I will do my best to ‘explain it’.There will be opportunities both online and offline to share your ideas with me and I will welcome students to come forward with new and exciting ideas
Change It or Explain It
Your Engagement OfficerA big part of my role as your Engagement officer is to oversee democracy within our Students’ Union.
Because of this, I am the best equipped to represent you and guarantee that your voice is heard.

LGBT CampaignConference Delegate
Exceptional Union, Exceptional Experience
An opportunity for LGBT students to set the direction for the campaign for the year ahead. Delegates also attend workshops, hear speakers, and network with other LGBT students.
We can send one delegate to LGBT Campaign Conference, which usually takes place in spring (date and venue to be con�rmed).
Hi, my name is Emily Harvey
and I'm a second year
currently studying history and
politics. I would like to run to
become a NUS LGBT
Conference Delegate.
Please do not hesitate to email
me regarding my manifesto at
ejh45@student.le.ac.uk.
My Experience
I am a member of Union Council, and this, as well as my other
experience, have given me the confidence to stand up and
voice my opinions, as well as draft proposals; a useful skill for
the NUS Conference.
I also take interest in LGBTQ* welfare and culture, having
attended London, Leicester and Brighton Pride in the last 2
years, and regularly campaigning for a range of NUS issues
including LGBTQ*, women and disability liberation.
I hope to go to this conference as I know that I will find it both
socially and intellectually stimulating, and want the
opportunity to bring back ideas for the society to discuss and
debate.
I attended NUS LGBT Conference last year, and this
helped me gain experience of the NUS movement
and how it is run and works.
I am also Co-Chair of the University of Leicester
LGBTQ Association, helping to organise a number of
events throughout this year so far. I have already
achieved a number of my Manifesto aims I made
when running for Co-Chair, including making the
Facebook Group Secret, and thus increasing privacy,
increasing our online presence, creating closer links
with Trade, and helping run a Coming Out Workshop.
I volunteer regularly with LGBTQ organisations and
charities, including Trade. This means I am
increasingly sensitive about issues that affect
individuals in the LGBT* community.
I have been a Course Rep since joining university and
during this time I have been developing my skills of
impartiality and being able to fairly represent my
subject peers, a useful skill for the Conference. I have
been awarded Best Newcomer for my work at the
Leicester Student of the Year Award.
If I am selected, I want to take your ideas and questions to the conference with me, so if there is anything you would
like to raise, email me. Thank you.
Hi! My name is Ieuan King and I am a first year law student. As part of the Law Society, I have undertaken Client Interviewing and Mooting (Debating). Both of these have helped develop my negotiating and public speaking abilities. It is my belief that these attributes strengthen my candidacy for the NUS LGBT conference where a balanced viewpoint and a need for negotiation are a necessity.
I am also an active member of the LGBTQ* Association and have taken part in both socials and events such as the Hate Crime workshop. This event gave me an insight into the issues facing LGBTQ* people today. My involvement with these events and the society in general has meant that I will pursue a position in the committee next year. Aside from the LGBTQ* society I have also been to the last two Cardiff Mardi Gras and LGBTQ* parades. I found these to be invaluable in order to raise awareness of the LGBTQ* community within Cardiff and South East Wales and also allowed me to express myself fully as an individual. I believe that the NUS LGBT conference will offer me an excellent opportunity to gain first hand knowledge surrounding the issues faced by LGBTQ* people and the policies which need to be enacted in order to ensure that all matters of concerns are dealt with. Furthermore, the ideas and concerned raised by the conference can be brought back and discussed within the Association.
Hello!
I'm Tom Whyke, a first
year biological science
student. I am running to
be YOUR delegate for the
National Union of
Students LGBT conference
2014.
I am the elected campaigns officer for the University of Leicester LGBTQ Association and therefore, I feel
that it is important for me to attend to develop my skills for my role as campaigns officer. I also have the
experience of being the student leader for Social and Pastoral care in my school, as well as being deputy
head boy and a student representative for my college. I am a member of the Society and Community zone
of the Student Council.
Electing me will help me to develop my skills which I will need to be a successful campaigns officer for the
LGBTQA. It will also help me to develop my passion for student politics and activism and teach me how the
NUS works.
I am a very friendly and approachable person. I listen to every single person, view and argument. If I am
elected, I would take every single point of view to the conference and make sure that we as a group are
listened to on a national scale and make sure we have our views listened to so things can be changed.
My passions for equality, freedom of speech and liberation have inspired me to take part in student politics
over the years and I hope to develop these passions by attending the conference.
If you have any questions about me or my manifesto then please feel free to approach me if you see me about, or
email me (tw161@student.le.ac.uk). I will to answer any questions you may have the best I can.
