Student Living Officer: Izzy Russell

 

Hi! I’m Izzy and I’m your Student Living Officer! I have just finished my second year of studying philosophy and politics and am taking a year out to work for the SU.

I have also been involved with the SU through roles such as JCR president, aerial arts officer, secretary of VegSoc and secretary of SASS.

Within my remit is wellbeing, sustainability and housing. These are all things that I am passionate about and have been an activist for before beginning my role. 

I will work for the SU and university buildings (including housing) to be sustainable and accessible, fight for student rights, and ensure that support is given to students throughout their university experience.
 

My Priorities This Year

 

  • Increase disability and wellbeing budget, improve training for counsellors, tutors, and committee members, continue harm reduction work 
  • Hold the University accountable to sustainability promises, to support student activism, push for all buildings to be sustainable and accessible, push for sustainability to be incorporated into subjects and careers 
  • Talk with University about capping expansion, re-evaluate security powers, improve SU Lettings and better support students finding housing, freeze halls prices, stop using external washing machine companies

 

What have I done so far?
