Vote FEMI for VP ACADEMICS
Hi, I am Femi Falobi and I will love to be your SU Vice President Academics! Our SU is brilliant in so many ways, but I believe it can be better. We need a fresh approach that offers new solutions to old problems, and I am confident that I can provide this. If elected, I will make the Students’ Union something students can continue to be proud of.
Representation
- I will ensure students’ voices are heard and validated at committee and sub-committee meetings.
- I want a relationship with the university which recognises us for who we are — students paying for an exceptional educational service. But more than that, I want a relationship with the university that fundamentally works and engages our disengaged students.
Accountability
- If elected, I will be committed to hosting regular ‘drop-in sessions’ with students to allow anyone from our student body question what their Union is doing for them. I’ll also be committing to regular meetings with school reps, course reps, clubs and societies in order to reflect the views, values and priorities of students from all sections of our vibrant student community here at Wolverhampton.
Employability
- Our student body is diverse, dynamic and full of talent, and there presently isn’t much done in rewarding excellent academic performance. I will help establish a robust reward system that recognises students’ hard work and outstanding academic performance and helps them progress in their chosen fields.
- Part of every student’s goal is to become employable after their studies, and I will help build more bridges between the industry and academia to ensure more students get employment opportunities and contribute meaningfully through their diverse skillsets developed during their time at the University of Wolverhampton
- Part of my goal is to see a student body that wouldn’t only be employable, but will also be employers or labour. In that regard, I will work with the University to ensure majority of our students are equipped with entrepreneurial skills to enable them create their own businesses upon graduation.
Improved Students’ Welfare and Engagement
- Most of our students’ learning experience has been adversely affected by COVID-19. I will work with the University to ensure that EVERY student has access to the requisite IT facilities needed to support their education.
- I will lobby the university to ensure students get access to free scanning and printing across all university facilities.
- Early access to timetables is essential in enabling students plan ahead of the academic year. I will ensure students get access to their timetables as well as get adequate support they need to use and navigate the tools necessary for their learning such as Canvas, MyWLV etc before the commencement of the academic year.
- Sensitizing students about academic misconduct and raising awareness about academic support students can leverage such as Skills for Learning, Turnitin etc. would be a priority when elected.
Vote Femi for Vice President Academics, and I will ensure every student’s voice is heard, as I work to create an unparalleled experience for students here at the University of Wolverhampton.
