Hi! My name is Lucas Fitzsimmons, and I am currently in Second Year studying Communication Management and Public Relations.
I have decided to run as Rep for the School of Communication and Media as I believe I will be able to make a strong difference and bring more opportunities for students! If elected I will aim to give better represenation for disabled students, not just in the school but in the university as a whole. As an openly Autistic Student, I am deeply passionate a providing our school with an elected Disabled Representative, as it is important that people from all backgrounds get the right representation in the Students Union. It is also my hope that by running, I encourage other like-minded disabled students to run for election in next years election as well!
I will not just help support disabled students in the School, but will also aim to give a voice to all students, regardless of background, and help make the uni a more inclusive and accepting environment for all! As a current Course Rep I already have some experience in roles such as these, and hope to bring a new breadth of perspectives to this role!
