Unity in Diversity with Leya Bader

I'm Leya Bader, a proud Global Ambassador and the Head of the International One World Society. I am excited to present my manifesto as I run for the position of Vice-President for Equality and belonging. My 5-year journey so far at Ulster has been filled with learning, engaging, and advocating for a campus that celebrates diversity and fosters an inclusive environment for all.
Goals & Actions: I aim to make Ulster a beacon of inclusivity by integrating diversity into mental health support, ensuring every student feels supported. Together with the student union and the International One World Society, I plan to launch the "Culture Connect Event," promoting global unity. The "Voice and Vision Council" will empower students to shape policy and enhance community. I'm dedicated to creating a comprehensive Anti-Discrimination Framework in collaboration with wellbeing services and Student Services for a respectful campus atmosphere. Additionally, I'll work to increase financial aid for underrepresented students and launch digital inclusion initiatives with IT Services, Library Services, and the student success team, ensuring accessible online learning for all.
Commitments:
- Active Engagement: I pledge to bridge the gap between students and administration, leading change with your voices.
- Transparency and Accountability: Expect open updates on our progress toward a more inclusive Ulster.
- Collaborative Approach: Working with student groups, staff, and community partners, we'll cultivate a diverse and united university environment.
With a heart full of passion and a vision for a unified Ulster, I, Leya Bader, am ready to lead. Together, we'll weave? a tapestry of inclusivity, making Ulster a beacon of equality. Vote for Leya Bader, and let's create a campus where everyone belongs.
