About Me
Hi everyone! I’m Sharanya, your Vice President Education. I can’t wait to ensure that your academic experience at Royal Holloway is just as rewarding as mine has been.
This year, I will make sure that your education is prioritised and supported as much as possible by the SU and University. I will work with both to improve the monetary and non-monetary means of support that will ensure you excel in your studies.
This year I aim to:
- Increase the amount of financial aid that is available to you, so that financial hardship during the cost-of-living crisis does not impact your studies.
- Organise frequent, and diverse career fairs that cater to each academic School – giving you more knowledge on internships and graduate schemes that are available to you.
- Utilise our position as a University of London to hold networking events with our neighbouring London universities.
- Develop outreach programmes and summer schools for prospective students who are part of underprivileged demographics.
- Arrange the practice you need in tackling psychometric and aptitude tests within the job hiring process.
This year's incredible Sabbatical Officer team and I will work hard to make your time at Royal Holloway the best it can be. I’m so excited for the year ahead!
