So far this year, you have used your role as Programme Representative to improve the conditions on your Programmes and the experience at City University London. Being a Programme Rep means you have demonstrated the desire to make important changes, represent students and respond to important feedback. These skills are directly transferable to an officer role. Nominating yourself could be the next important step in your development!

Why should I nominate myself?

Through your efforts as Programme Representatives, you have not only shown your ability to listen to, respond to and act on feedback; you have also gained valuable knowledge on the issues students care about and the changes they want to see made. This insight and knowledge is an important tool for officers through their campaigns and work. You have also shown your time management skills, effective communication and responsibility by being a Programme Representative.  

You should nominate yourself, as becoming an officer will mean you can develop your skills further, and campaigning for election will help you stand out from the crowd even more when you graduate.
