Alex

Hi, I’m Alex, a third year Philosophy student. Having been at this university for a fair few years, I have spoken to a lot of my fellow students and know what they want. I am especially fond of helping new clubs and societies get on their feet, either by helping get them started or by being a member. Although I have spent many years speaking to others in an unofficial capacity, over the last year I have been a returning undergraduate representative for SUSA and have had students come to me with their concerns. I like to think that I can make a difference at SUSA and I want to continue making a difference by being your Vice President of Services.

I want to make the union work for students with as much student participation as possible. But this can only be done if SUSA as a whole is shown to be an approachable, accountable and transparent union, even more so than it already is. Turning up to Studio for a pint on occasion helps, but it’s not enough. Therefore I will move to extend the opportunity for students to actively contribute to the progression of SUSA by:

• Increasing the frequency of Council meetings.
• Offering more than one Senate during the academic year.
• Making Council and Executive meetings more welcoming and accommodating to observer.

I will improve the transparency of SUSA’s decision making process by:

• Making a basic summary of all council meetings available within 24 hours.
• Providing a no-jargon alternative to all applicable SUSA documentation.
• Making minutes and agendas more easily available on SUSA Online.


I will make SUSA more approachable by:

• Providing twice weekly drop-in hours with the VP Services.
• Promoting and improving the services already available through SUSA.
• Turning the SUSA Office into a ‘one-stop-shop’ for all student concerns.

Entertainment:

• Work with the Ents team to provide nights that we as students want.
• Open Glow and the long bar as many nights as possible.
• Organise more live nights, especially for Stirling based bands.

I will further integrate and develop clubs and societies by:

• Working with the Web Team to expand C&S facilities on SUSA Online.
• Reviewing the current system for establishing a society.
• Actively encouraging and making it easier for clubs & societies to attend events which are significant to them.
• Actively helping any Club or Society with fund-raising ideas or any other help they require, especially liberation campaigns.

For SUSA
We will further the interests of the association by:
• Continuing the campaign for a larger block grant from the university.
• Enforcing the zero tolerance policy with regards to the intimidation of any SUSA representative by any student.
• Truly making SUSA every students’ “second home” through continued enforcement of the Equal Opportunities Policy and full utilisation of the support network available.

So vote for me, Alex Dickson, for your Vice President for Services.
