Because International students are shy to express our idea in a new culture and English is not our 1st language, we will feel shy to voice out opinion although we have a big desire to run in the committee position. So I suggest that Student's Union to encourage more international students to run in the election for the committee and also give some quotas to the international students in the committee. This is because this can motivate the international students to apply for the position if there is quota especially for them, and they will not be shy and intimidated to apply for a position.

Hence, when at least 1 international student has been in committee, this will spur up the interest in other international students to run in the higher positions in the committee, and thus create a more diverse culture committee. Just to give an example: after Barack Obama won the election in USA to be the 1st black man to step into the White House, this has actually motivated a lot of different races people to contest in the next election. Therefore, I proposed this idea for a better understanding of all the cultures exist at the University of Southampton with a more diverse culture in the committee, and hence this will also attract more students or exchange students to come to the University of Southampton to study.
