Virgil Friedman - English Department President

As your English Department President, I would like to focus on accessibility, inclusion, and creating a community environment at Avenue Campus. I've been your Course Rep for the last year, and throughout my tenure, I have done my best to cater to the needs of disabled and LGBTQ+ students, ensuring accessibility and fair treatment by speaking to students and delivering staff honest feedback regarding accessibility and inclusion in modules and accessibility to and in Avenue Campus itself. I have also taken notice of and pointed out the shortcomings of Avenue Campus in comparison to Highfield, such as a lack of activities and socials, poor café choices and prices, poorly advertised study spaces, and lack of accessibility and bus route. While I can easily point these things out as a Course Rep, being the Department President would give me more means to actually start fixing these issues. If elected, I intend to help make Avenue Campus a fun, inviting, and accessible place for all students.
