Razifa Yeasmin
Welfare VP Candidate
Empowering every student voice, together.
Why are you standing in the SU Elections?
I want to stand for Vice President welfare because I believe every student deserves to feel supported, heard, and empowered throughout their university journey. My goal is to promote inclusivity, mental wellbeing, academic balance, and equal opportunities for all. I will work to strengthen support services, create safe spaces, and ensure student voices shape decisions that affect them. Compassion, transparency, and collaboration will guide my actions. I am committed to advocating for those who feel overlooked, building a community where diversity is celebrated, and ensuring no student faces challenges alone. Together, we can create a successful student experience for everyone.
If elected, what are your three priorities you want to focus on during your time in office?
- Student wellbeing and safety — improving access to mental health support, creating safe spaces, and addressing harassment concerns.
- Inclusion and equal opportunities — ensuring women, international students, and underrepresented groups have a strong voice and fair access to resources.
- Academic and financial support — advocating for flexible policies, cost-of-living support, and practical guidance to help students succeed. I want every student to feel confident, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential during their university journey.
What do you see as your biggest strength and biggest weakness and why?
