About Me

Hi everyone!

My name is Matthew, and this year I will be serving as your President! I loved being your Vice President Education last year.

I studied Politics and International Relations at Royal Holloway. While I was a student, I worked as a Duty Manager at the SU Shop and as a Student Ambassador for The Purpose Coalition, advocating for social mobility in the UK. This is something I want to bring to the role as President to make sure our University provides opportunities for all regardless of background.

Our role at the Students' Union is to make student life better, and with that in mind if you have any ideas or changes you want to see make sure to get in touch with me at any point through the year.

Priority 8

For more information on both of these Priorities, check out the action plans here, as well as the other Sabbs on the Priority 8 Action Plan page!

• More affordable food options on campus
  • By working with the University and catering services I will push for more affordable options across campus, including better deals for students in the shop, market-day, and University run outlets.
  • This Priority was also on our agenda last year, and so I will continue that work by pushing for a joint-loyalty scheme between the Students’ Union and University across outlets. I will also work to introduce TooGoodToGo Bags across campus.
  • We are always looking for information to help us fully understand the issue and build a strong case, so get involved in any surveys or focus groups we run - or just drop me an email at president@su.rhul.ac.uk!

• Improve security and safety in the wider area in and around the Egham campus

  • On Campus, I will improve safety in the Venue through stronger communication, campaigns, and increasing security measures. On Campus, I will also work with RHUL Campus Watch to improve their service and support for students, and continue to advocate for the opening of back-gate.
  • Off Campus, I will be writing a local community improvement plan to increase street-lighting and road safety.
  • Once again, if you have any thoughts on this priority make sure to get in touch to have your voice heard!

If anyone has any question or would like to get involved in any of my Priority 8 please do not hesitate to pop me a message on Instagram (@rhsupresident) or email me (president@su.rhul.ac.uk)
