Testimonials

Here are some examples of what students and staff have said about why I should run for Education Officer: 

Recommendation from staff:

“As School rep for Non-European Languages and as Intercultural Ambassador, Miles dedicates so much time to ensuring that education provided at Leeds is of a high standard. He patiently listens to students' concerns, no matter how small, and goes out of his way to get these views heard by members of staff. Not only is he extremely hardworking, he is also very kind and friendly and would make a competent yet approachable Education Officer.”

Recommendations from students:  

“Miles Davies is an incredible asset to this university. I have known him throughout my academic career, and I know that at every stage in his participation in the Student Staff Committee (first as a Student Staff Committee Representative, and now as School Rep for Non-European Languages), Miles has performed professionally and with great dedication. His incredible rapport with the staff as well as with his peers make him an excellent candidate for the position of Education Officer. There is no-one I can think of who is more familiar with Staff-Student Dialogue or more qualified to help improve them.”

“He's a very responsible and organised person, who already has lots of experience in the field. He has been student rep twice and is now school rep for non-European languages. He has done an excellent job so far and I think he would be a great Education Officer.”

“Miles is a responsible person who truly cares about other people's opinions and views. He is already school rep and knows a lot about the university system. I know he would make a valuable contribution as Education Officer.”   

“He is a very organised, motivated and keen individual, who truly wants to make a difference within the university community. He is currently School Rep for Non-European languages, and has done a great job getting us all involved with the issues and proposed changes that have been happening, and has made sure he's kept us all constantly aware of any changes. I believe he'd be a fantastic Education Officer, and that he'd do naught but good for the Union and implement many improvements.”

“I feel Miles Davies has done a lot of hard work this year with regards to representing students as a School Rep. He strives to improve everything he can and listens to advice and comments from students, which really makes a difference. He is very active within his role and his dedication is unmatched, I can certainly see the difference it has made to the East Asian Department.
Furthermore he is approachable, which is an indispensable attribute when taking on a role such as Education Officer. He is also very active with his work, making himself known to all year groups and doesn't 'stand in the background'. For all of the above reasons I think he will make an excellent education officer and would love to see him on the voting slip!”  

 I think they would be excellent as the Education Officer. Miles is already heavily involved with his school, aiming to make it a better degree for all involved. He is also very good at communicating his ideas and will always listen carefully and be respectful to other people.’
