Hey! I'm Tom and I'm currently a first year Interior Design student and Course Rep at DMU. I am proud of who I am still becoming, after many years of standing by myself for being gay. I fully comprehend the difficulties that LGBT people still face and I want to be able to reform this by building on the equality and safety that exists for us students on campus. 
My superior motive from this is to encourage everyone to feel confident in who they are.  


Since starting at the university I have seen myself becoming a more stronger-minded person, with more determination and motivation to never give up. 
I always cherish having the ability to make changes that benefit the people around me, and this is another perfect opportunity for me to help those people, and to help you!
 

My aims for the next academic year would be:

  • To eliminate fears, drive inclusion and provide support for all LGBTQ+ students
  • Working with Faculties and the Student Council to maintain and advance on the safety of DMU's campus environment
  • Give guidance on situations from personal experiences

 

Being the LGBTQ+ Representative for DSU next year would be incredible, for having the opportunity to make changes. So please, can you help me with this? 
Be the change!
