Introduction
Hello, I’m Max (they/them), your 2026/27 President Falmouth!
I’m excited to be involved in our vibrant student community and have the opportunity to make positive change.
I’m a Cornish local who grew up in Redruth, which has made me passionate about making life down here more affordable! Having just finished my BA(Hons) in Fine Art, I am deeply invested in Falmouth’s art scene which is fuelled by our students.
During my 3 years of study here at Falmouth, I received the highest student loan available and stayed home in first year to reduce costs. I was grateful to afford 2 years of accommodation, but many of my friends with lower student loans could barely afford food. This year, you have given me the opportunity to lobby the government for student loan reform to improve student wellbeing, which I am eager to pursue. I want to push for change because students shouldn’t have to worry about buying food or necessities. We should be able to put our energy into the reason we’re actually here – our studies!
When I’m not in the SU, you can find me at the Penryn viaduct crouching in the mud gremlin-style to inspect some mushrooms, at Maenporth beach having a swim with my friends, or at home reading a good book. I’ll always have a sketchbook on hand, and I love to dance around the kitchen like a lunatic.
Studying at Falmouth University has allowed me to stay in my beautiful home county and meet so many wonderful people from different walks of life.
Feel free to drop-in to the SU and have a chat with me about whatever you like, I’m always up for a walk around campus and a good yap!
