My name is Yvonne Collier I am a level 6 student studying Events and Venue Management. My background is disused venues and communities with a lack of community spirt, organising events to raise funds and establish the buildings as the heart of the community. I have recently worked with drug and alcohol rehabilitation setting up cafes and teaching them a trade.
In 2018 when I started at Wolverhampton universities the community spirit at the university was amazing, events and socials, help and support from course peers. This over the last couple of years has depleted due to the pandemic. My aim is to engage the students again in this.
We have a walking bus; most students are not aware of this service re Advertising this and keeping students safe. Readvertising this scheme will help to be used more and keep us all safe.
Safety in the university buildings, utilising the ID badge at barriers it obtain entry. This will help to ensure only students are in the buildings.
Catering – working with students to establish what is required and how to implement it. There have been various comments regarding the choice of healthy options being offered on the menu.
There are also issues that the previous community office has started to implement that I will continue to work on, such as access to union staff at all hours so there is always someone on hand to talk to and listen to any issue.
