Sadhika Mehrotra - Social Sciences Faculty Officer

I'll be a second-year Politics and International Relations student this September. I'm passionate about student wellbeing and committed to offering support whenever it's needed.
I regularly take the initiative to speak with professors about course-related issues and strive to ensure student voices are heard.I believe the role of Student Officer is the perfect opportunity to bridge the gap between students and faculty. I want to help my classmates understand the support available from university staff beyond just the Student’s Union.
If elected, I’d love to introduce informal, engaging activities—such as quiz nights with faculty—to create a more relaxed environment where students and teachers can connect. These events would allow both sides to voice concerns, seek clarifications, and build stronger relationships outside of formal settings. I’ll also work with faculty to make sure feedback is acknowledged and acted upon.
Having once struggled to find the right channel for support, I know how important it is to feel heard. That’s why I want to be a bridge for others. My approachable nature and strong communication skills have already helped me build positive relationships with both peers and professors—qualities I would bring into this role.
