My Biography

Hi! I'm Ruben, a Year 2 Electrical & Electronic Engineering student, and I'm running for Vice President of Community. With experience working both behind the scenes and on the ground in student organisations and events, I value listening, preparation, and clear communication. I aim to represent student voices, support clubs and societies, and strengthen collaboration across the community to help build a calm, supportive, and inclusive campus environment

My Manifesto

actively listen to and represent student voices to ensure concerns, ideas, and feedback are clearly acknowledged and addressed. support student clubs and societies through effective coordination, guidance, and problem-solving to help initiatives run smoothly. strengthen communication between students, clubs, and stakeholders to improve collaboration and execution. promote a supportive and inclusive community culture that encourages participation and mutual respect.

What motivated me to nominate myself?

I decided to run for Vice President of Community after encouragement from a close friend and the realisation that leadership comes naturally to me. I saw this role as an opportunity to grow as a leader while giving back to the student community in a meaningful way. I enjoy working with people and have a strong interest in supporting clubs and student initiatives. Through my experience in organising events and working both behind the scenes and on the ground, I have developed the skills and commitment needed to take on this responsibility. I believe that by listening, learning, and working collaboratively, I can contribute positively to the campus community.

My top three priorities

1. Listening to and representing student voices: My top priority is to listen. I believe the best way to build a strong community is to first understand the needs, concerns, and ideas of students and clubs. Rather than assuming solutions, I aim to listen actively and move forward from there, ensuring that student voices are acknowledged and represented in decision-making. 2. Supporting student clubs and societies: Student clubs are at the heart of a vibrant campus community. I am committed to supporting clubs and societies in any way I can, whether that means assisting with planning, coordination, communication, or problem-solving. I want club leaders to feel supported, heard, and confident when organising initiatives and events. 3. Strengthening communication and planning: Good communication can make or break any plan. I aim to improve communication between students, clubs, and relevant stakeholders to ensure expectations are clear and plans are realistic. Alongside this, I value proper planning and preparation, so that events and initiatives are not only exciting but also well-executed and sustainable.

What would I bring to the role?

:I envision bringing a more supportive and connected community to HWUMSA and HWUM by strengthening communication, actively listening to student voices, and supporting student initiatives effectively. Through collaboration with clubs, representatives, and stakeholders, I aim to create a positive environment where students feel heard, supported, and empowered to engage meaningfully in campus life.
