Jack Damerell - Economics Department President

I’m going into my final year of Economics with a passion for supporting and representing our community. This department has felt like home since I began university, and I see this as my final opportunity to give back. I want to ensure that all Economics students continue to feel welcomed, supported, and part of a strong, lasting community.

I bring solid leadership experience from my role as Head Boy in college, where I regularly met with the Headmistress to improve student wellbeing. Within months, we helped the school move from a Bronze to a Silver UNICEF Rights Respecting School Award by expanding support for anti-bullying ambassadors. We also ran successful charity events, which I intend to implement should I be elected.

Currently, I work as a waiter, which has helped me develop communication, resilience, and time management skills. It’s also taught me how to serve others with dedication. I promise to bring this positive energy towards this role.

If elected, I will be approachable, proactive, and dedicated to listening to you. I want to make sure our voices are heard and that the department continues to improve rather than stand still. Together, we can build a culture where every student feels proud to study Economics.
