Micah Saberola Micah Kate Saberola I am standing for president SLOGAN: If Opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door I am a Bsc Computer Science Student Manifesto: As a Student Ambassador I have encountered hundreds of students with the same complaints so come stand with me while I raise an opportunity for students to have better chance in improving their coursework. I am here to extend the No detriment Policy of 2020-2022, this is to have a two- week extension granted without giving any proof of evidence, this is because some students have unexpected circumstances and are parents. I also will make sure that MDXworks is advertised to all students on campus as there are many opportunities rising within and it would be a shame to not let all the students know about these. I will do this by making sure that graduate students have more opportunities for placements or jobs that are related on their courses, doing so I will make sure to increase the connection of MDXworks outside the University. Also, by making sure they are more open in their approach when they plan events such as job fairs as well as a continuity of employability lectures in students’ final year. Lastly, I hear your voice! I will raise all the issues such as the awareness of mental health for all students that have gone through their struggles alone and don’t know how and where to seek help. I WILL LEAD YOUR VOICES THROUGH SUCCESS!!

In the next academic year I intend to listen to your wishes and proposals to make your life at Middlesex more beneficial. It would be an honor for me to represent your voice and fulfill your desires. I am currently in my second year at the Theater Arts field and what I want for all the arts departaments is to create a festival where classes from all the universities in London can register and present their theatre shows, exhibitions, short-films, installations and more.

Just imagine what a festival of student artists in London would look like and together we can bring this project to life.

Faz Cheema I am a student studying 3D games design and animation in my first year. I believe all student voices matter, and that it is the duty of those confident enough to share those voices to do so. In college, I took on the role of the Student Governer for two successful years and helped bring about positive change anywhere possible. I am approachable and will never turn down an idea. The role of vice president would be suited for me as I am very creative and am willing to listen to all ideas. I am logically minded and strive for the best execution in all my daily activities, I believe I can help bring the same to the role. I am a very open person and support all religions, races, ethnicities sexualities, genders. This opportunity fills me with excitement. I am very eager to learn on the job and think id make a great Vice President for Arts and Creative Industries.
Shania Flor As a third year Popular Music student at Middlesex University I would love to represent the creative arts industry with the knowledge and experience I have gained in the past three years. During my study I have experienced both positive and negative aspects of my course and already have an understanding of what my fellow piers hope to change. As someone who is passionate about helping others achieve their goals I would be delighted to be a part of a campaign that could make these goals a reality. Although some goals may seem difficult to achieve, I believe I have the right skills to make strategic plans, consider different opinions and help decide on the most sustainable and beneficial paths in order to achieve a positive change. I believe through my passion for helping others, experience at university and strong communication skills I could be the perfect candidate for the role of a vice president.
Nathaneal Hawthorne VOTE #1 NATHANEAL HAWTHORNE VICE PRESIDENT ARTS & CREATIVE WE DESERVE A COMFORTABLE STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCE ADDITIONAL EXTERNAL FACILITIES We are already paying a tremendous amount for our tuition out of our own pocket. I will fight for more access to programs, tutorials, supplies and discounts relating to our creative studies. These things should be provided by the university. MORE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES University-based artistic employment opportunities are lacking. I believe additional art-related campus based job opportunities will look excellent on our CV's, tremendously boosting our employability once we graduate university. ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT Tuition loans, accommodation, maintenance loan, all this adds up, this is even more severe for international students. I will fight for more financial support for us students struggling. More bursaries, less additional costs, better payment plans.

Andru Sandu Hi there, My name is Andru and I currently study 3D Animation and Games at Middlesex University. By applying for the Vice President role, I intend to find ways to adapt the current ACI courses to better prepare students for the artistic industry (video games, illustration, animation, film, fashion, etc.). I noticed that even though our courses currently cover a wide range of topics, it sometimes fails to prepare us for what we will face after we graduate. There seems to be a dichotomy between the university environment ,which seems at times too agreeable, and the studio/office work environment. Not only this, but skills like \"selling your skillset\" are not currently focused on, withing these courses. Moreover, I want to create an active \"channel\" of communication between students and the directors of the ACI courses, so everyone's voice can be heard, for the benefit of all students. Thank you for reading.
Atlanta Sonson-Chapman To encourage the discouraged! And to achieve the unachievable!
Lanna Winter As a Spanish trans woman with a very difficult background, I believe in personal growth and success. Moving to London and starting my studies at Middlesex University made me change my way of viewing the world and my way of thinking. Sometimes life can be very difficult, but we don't have to be afraid of asking and of being vulnerable. After all, there are many people who can help you. Arts and Creativity helped me going through many issues, from personal to professional. I believe in humanity and in the healing factor of arts. As a Vice president, I will put my soul, body and mind into helping and giving advise to anyone who needs it. Vote for me and you will be voting for a comunity. In the meantime, if you feel like you need a quick chat about anything, you can drop me a message via instagram (lannawinter_) and I will be there to help you.
VICE PRESIDENT HEALTH, SOCIAL CARE & EDUCATION The following candidates are campaigning to be elected as Vice President Health, Social Care & Education. Make sure to rank the candidates in order of preference when you vote. Read the following candidates’ manifesto Iveta Todorova | Vivian Unaka
Iveta Todorova PRESIDENT Welcome to Middlesex University! My name is Iveta Todorova and I am running for Vice President of Health, Social Care, and Education because I believe students should have a central voice in their education. We all have made large sacrifices and worked hard to get here. I strongly believe that our Student Union has a duty to support societies and student services. However, I feel the Union has failed in this regard. Societies are an important part of the university experience and they make a great contribution to student life. Our union should be petitioning for more funding for our society. If I am elected, I will make sure that future health, social care, and education professionals have a strong social platform and society where they can socialise and share expertise. As a social work student, I am well aware that in our line of work, having an increased social platform will have a great impact on our careers as we will all work in multidisciplinary teams and relationship building is crucial. One of my main morals is to help people and my top priority is to advocate for them. I will fight for you and use everything within my power and beyond to make sure all your concerns are addressed and resolved. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or you just want to have a chat. I am here to help.

Temitayo Bello Great MDX Students, Ladies & Gentleman, I Temitayo Bello humbly request for your vote to be elected as the next MDXSU Vice President Business & Law. It is however not a gain-saying that's the Student Union has been rolling out a lot of lauadable & commendable activities to harness the social & mental potentials of the students but the students seem to be so unconcerned with the happenings around the student body. The result was evident in the previous election. My Agenda is to encourage one-to-one interaction with students right from the induction activities, Use every social networking medium to create and sustain synergy between the Students, various societies & MDXSU, Encourage more student participation in sporting activities through direct involvement of MDXSU and also Create more avenues to gather & utilise innovative opinions from the students.

Aylin Chelik I believe the voices of all students need to be represented deep inside every element of the Student Union, societies and the university itself. If elected, I will use this position to maintain and promote my effort for student benefits and career success opportunities as best possible. As everyone has different abilities and equipment, they cannot be effective alone, but there are always things and successes that more than one different people with the same goal can do together. For this reason, I am ready to use my own equipment and multi-skills under the name of this role and to be in this society.
Yolanda Dyer \"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.\" Nelson Mandela, 1990 For many, university represents a transformative period teeming with new experiences and opportunities. Our paths to university differ, but we all go because we share one common objective - change. Some of us want to transition into adulthood, some of us want to change our socioeconomic status, and others want to change how they think. This is why university is so important - it plays such a vital role in shaping who we become and the way we move in the world. Therefore the primary focus of universities should be on their students - to listen to their needs and ensure that they are being met. Since I started at Middlesex, I have been advocating for the needs of students in varying capacities. I have been a part of the : Equality Diversity and Inclusion programme, which seeks to change the curriculum and the ways it's delivered so that it reflects the students. The disciplinary panel, as a student representative, to advocate for fair decisions in student misconduct cases.
