Lorna Selby

As Women’s Officer, I will continue to serve and represent the interests of women at the University and in Southampton more widely.  

I will work to create cultural change at our University to foster a safe and inclusive environment for all women. I intend to do this by creating educational materials about Consent, Safety and Respect for Halls, Social Media and Induction Lectures. 

I will continue to build relationships within SUSU and the University, collaborating with the VP for Welfare, LGBTQ+ Officer, BAME Officer, Welfare Officer and relevant societies to ensure inclusivity is a fundamental aspect of everything I do. My work as Women’s Officer will be guided by the wants and needs of those at our University. I will ensure that any feedback is communicated to SUSU in order to represent our student population and foster real change! 

At the heart of my campaign is collaboration with local stakeholders outside of the University, particularly the local council with whom I have previously attended events to raise awareness about women’s issues. If elected, I will further build this relationship to ensure that women at our University are represented in local government and at the center of all policy decisions. 

Finally, I will ensure that Women’s History Month is a significant event in our University calendar, by organizing exciting events to strengthen our community and celebrate what it is to be a woman! This will include inspiring talks, coffee chats and interactive activities to give students the opportunity to share their stories and meet new people. 

For real, inclusive change at our University, vote for Lorna!
