Hi,
My name is Chris Mallams and I am currently a second-year student studying Professional Culinary Management at Buxton. I am going for this role as Buxton Chair/HE because I want the best experience for everyone at Buxton during their final years here. Being a program rep for 2 years, I have provoked a lot of educational change within the University, acting on my peer's behalf. Using this experience I want to take this a step further and be at the forefront of all change in Buxton and create a positive University experience for all.
Key aims:
- To gain more personal feedback on assignments so students can reflect and improve.
- Work with other PTO's on events to increase student participation at Buxton.
- Build a better relationship with the main campus to ensure a smooth transition and help any students who wish to study there in their final year.
- Support students on placement to make sure they are gaining the most out of their experience.
What have I done?
During my time as a program rep, I have changed how lectures and seminars are delivered. The importance of content delivery followed by student involvement I believe is key to getting the best out of education. Using my position I want to make more change for the better and put a smile on people's faces in Buxton. This is my motivation and I will work my hardest to achieve this.
