Hello, my name is Michael Holmes, a soon to be 4th Year MPharm student.
I am standing to be elected as a student course representative within the school of pharmacy.
I feel I am well suited for this role as I can adapt to various situations having been born in Zimbabwe, later raised in Sheffield, and have lived in Leicester for the last 3 years. Considering this year's blended learning approach, teaching has been a unique experience for all, therefore I understand the student experience associated with this approach. I would like to ensure the views of all students across the year are represented equally, and there is a blending between the school and the student body.
Although difficult, as your representative on the council of the school of pharmacy I would aim to ensure that:
- Everyone can make their voice heard. I will do all within my ability to ensure all those that currently feel underrepresented are heard.
- Inclusivity by keeping all those informed of the decisions made by the council.
- Decisions made by the council are for the benefit of everyone.
I will use the previous experience that I gained as a mentor as well as the knowledge gathered across the past 3 years to deliver upon these aims. I will strive to give you various opportunities to inform me of what I can do to improve your experience during your final year here at De Montfort university because you know what you want to change.
I would be honoured to represent you during the coming year and to be allowed to make a positive impact on your university experience.
