One of my biggest wins this semester was helping international students at the University of Leicester School of Business who faced a tough situation. Their dissertation deadlines were extended due to resits, but this clashed with their visa expiry dates, putting their PSW applications at risk. I worked with the university to arrange an earlier submission deadline and set up a special board of examiners to review their dissertations, ensuring they didn’t miss out on their future plans.
I successfully lobbied the University of Leicester to review the additional fees charged to students whose dissertations were extended beyond their course period due to resits. I'm thrilled to share that the changes are now in the process of being implemented, making things fairer for students
I’ve been actively working to improve the Black student experience at the University of Leicester. I’m proud to be part of the Black Student Program Board and successfully organized the ‘Bridging the Gap’ listening event along with the university, creating a space for important conversations and positive change.
