This year I hope to bring together our mature student community so that they can feel better supported and less alone during their time studying here at Royal Holloway. In order to achieve this, I will prioritise the following goals:
• Encourage the university and Student Union to create more events suited and aimed at mature students for both this year and future-year cohorts.
• Create a well-promoted official digital platform for mature students to meet one another and socialise outside of the world of lectures and seminars.
• Ensure that students belonging to this community feel their voices are being heard just as loudly as those belonging to the younger age groups.
• Encourage greater collaboration and mixing of mature students from different academic departments and qualification levels.
