President Falmouth

Introduction

Hi, I’m Jadelle (she/her)! I’m from the West Midlands but moved to Cornwall to start my degree in Popular Music in 2020 (I’m basically a local now).  I really enjoy spending my free time at the beach or going on costal walks. I also love to go to open mic nights to both sing and watch other musicians.

After being a student at Falmouth for four years, I am extremely passionate about the student experience and aim to improve this throughout my year as President Falmouth. My desire to be a representative and a (very) loud voice for students of minority groups stems from working as an ambassador during my time as a student.

Community, collaboration, and employability skills are key to driving successful student projects, therefore, these areas are the forefront of my manifesto.

Manifesto priorities

Community

• Minority students are not represented enough across our campuses. To build a strong community, we as a student body, need to fight for race equity.

• I want to create safer spaces for minority students to celebrate our culture, this will be in the form of workshops, events and social media.

Collaboration

• To re-introduce CoLab and making it more visible and easier to find for all students. CoLab was a platform that allowed students to contact each other regarding collaborative projects.

• I aim to make CoLab more accessible for students to then be able to contact each other regarding opportunities to collaborate.

• Developing CoLab to include other features to help you with other areas of student life, like finding housemates, sharing work and getting feedback.

Employability

• I promise to share your thoughts on employability services with Falmouth University, honestly and openly expressing your experiences.

• I want to see more job fayres, more opportunity for one-to-one support, and an improved visibility of how you can make the most of the services available to you.

• Working closely with the employability team to help students with CV support, placement opportunities, and job fayres. We already have some excited stuff in the works for the new academic year!
