I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Harvinder Singh Saluja (You can call me Harry). I am vying for the position of Postgraduate Taught Officer and if elected I would love to extend my support to assist Postgraduate students. I assure to apply my diligence to enhance your academic experiences.
Why?
Like other postgraduate students, I have commenced my course 3 months back and faced a lot of challenges initially. I understood the issues of postgraduate students in the recent months and strongly believe that representation of students interests is very important at each level. It becomes really important to make the postgraduate taught experience invaluable, as the course lasts only for a year and within this time one has to focus on opportunities and gaining exposure.
About me:
I am currently studying MSc Tourism Management at the University of Derby and also the students rep for the course. I love interacting with people and positively influence wherever I find myself. I have more than 13 years of experience in the tourism industry and worked as a Team Manager in the last organization. I have developed good communication & leadership skills, great decision making, mentorship and relationship building. I believe in helping others and understand it as a sense of responsibility to assist anyone where situation demands.
If elected I would aim to:
- Working closely with course students reps to improve postgraduate students' needs and preferences for effective teaching approaches
- To make any students voice heard and express their opinion
- Aiming at a higher satisfaction rate in studies upon finishing the course
- You will be kept informed of the decisions made by the union
I would be grateful to represent you during the current year and to be given the opportunity to make a positive impact on your university experience.
