Hi! I’m Jolan and I’m running for the role of co-president alongside Jade Robertson for the 2019-2020 academic year. I have been an active member of the Gender Equality & Feminism Society for two years now, one of which I also spent as the social media and events coordinator.
Having been a member of eight societies and students groups since starting university has given me a solid understanding of what creates a productive environment in which group members are comfortable communicating, discussing and actualising plans.
After a year of being on the society’s committee, I see numerous opportunities for improvement, growth and collaboration, all of which I anticipate and feel prepared to bring about.
Looking into the future, I wish to increase GEF’s membership, host events easily accessible to students of all higher education institutions in Aberdeen and members of the general public, and organise events in collaboration with other societies, student groups and organisations in Aberdeen.
