Hi, I'm Tasha, and I'm standing to be your next Vice President of Services.
I want a student union that's enjoyable, inclusive and sustainable. I want a student union listens
to the voice of students and acts on what you want.
When at university, we're not just here to work hard, we're also here to play hard. Our
students' union should be fun and exciting. We should have a wide range of events that
suits everyone's tastes. EUSA has put on a great deal of events this year, but we should
have more. We should have lazer quest, foam parties, more big-name bands, live bands,
more festivals, beer festivals. It'd be fantastic. Let's make our union fun!
I'm voting Tasha for VPS because she wants EUSA to be a living wage employer, she believes
in free education and fair pay for staff. There are so many issues surrounding student
housing here in Edinburgh. I want to build on the success of this years student housing
co-op and set up astudent letting agency. With no hidden costs, no need for a UK guarantor,
lower deposits, and a letting code that all landlords would have to abide to for their
properties. I also want to be helping students challenge dodgy landlords and also create
an inclusive environment in halls.
Our student union building should be delivering the resources that you want. That's why I
want to make sure for our new student union building all the plans are made public and
that we'll have consultations where students can have their input.
I want to make sure our student union building places student interest over commercial interests.
I'm Hannah from People & Planet and I'm supporting Tasha for VPS because I believe Edinburgh
University should be carbon neutral. And I look forward to working with her on the Ethical
Investment Campaign.
I want to make sure that our university is investing sustainably and ethically. I want
to make sure our university divests from arms and fossil fuels, and would also like the
university to be completely carbon neutral. The university has already taken some small
steps into becoming more sustainable such as these solar panels here at KB. However,
I want us to do more, we should apply for planning permission to set up our own wind
farm and we could be completely carbon neutral.
I'm Will, I'm a member of BLOGS and I'm supporting Tasha for VPS because she's been an amazing
LGBT+ Convenor this year, and she wants recognition for all minority students at Edinburgh.
Hi, I'm Felicity and I'm a postgrad student, and I'm voting for Tasha because she wants
longer library opening hours during the summer and 24hr library during exam period.
Every single year here at the University of Edinburgh, thousands of students go on placements
abroad. Here at Potterrow, we have a fantastic advise place which supports all our students
here. But no support for students who are abroad. Why don't we set up a Year Abroad
Coordinator who can help students find placements, find accommodation, set up bank accounts and
they can be a place to fall back for students who are struggling abroad.
Hi, I'm Katie, and I'm from the Volleyball Team, and I'm voting for Tasha for VPS because
she wants to increase Gym hours on the weekends.
I want to make you get the best deal from your student union. That is why I'll push
for mid-week drink deals, better food options, late night food after the Big Cheese.
And I'll make sure we have curly fries available in all EUSA kitchens.
And how about market days at KB?
Hi, I'm Megan. I'm the leader of the uni *** team here at Edinburgh for CoppaFeel Breast
Cancer Awareness Charity and I'm going to be voting for Tasha because I really believe
in her manifesto and I think she's going to make EUSA a really exciting place.
I'm Robert, I'm from ECA, and I'm supporting Tasha because she wants EUSA to represent
all students from across all campuses here at the university.
So if you have any questions, then please contact me either by my Facebook or by Twitter,
and if you like what I have to say, please vote for me on MyEd from the 11-13 March.
