About Me
Hi everyone, I’m Alex and I am so excited to be taking over as the new VP Societies and Sport for 2021/22.
With the year that has just passed, I know how important groups are to the student life around campus and I cannot wait to help them get back into delivering in-person activities!
One of the biggest impacts of the last year to our groups was the overall participation and I am fully committed to ensuring that student engagement will get back to pre-Covid levels.
I will also be aiming to develop the support currently available to student group committees which will allow them to be able to deliver their members high-quality and effective activity. Alongside this, I also want to work on making sure our groups are being the most environmentally friendly as possible.
I cannot stress how amazing being a part of a student group is, from meeting so many like-minded people to learning so many transferable skills it was definitely the best part of my university experience at Royal Holloway!
If you ever have any questions always feel free to send me an email or DM!

This can include lobbying for improved facilities, high quality equipment and ensuring all students have access to different ways of keeping active.
They lead on campaigns and activities related to student health and wellbeing through sport.
Sitting on the Union’s Board of Trustees, VP Societies & Sport spends time working closely with students on campaign delivery while ensuring the Union is delivering on its strategic plan.
