Label sat down with your Rag Chair candidate for the 2021 Exec Elections! Hettie Bawden What are the main points of your manifesto? My manifesto can be summarised in three words: students, charity and strategy.

So it’s looking to involve more students and spreading awareness, education schemes as well as services that are available within LSU and just both the Education section. This includes, but is not limited to, department committees, peer support, academic representation and probably most importantly, advice. So it’s just spreading the awareness of those schemes and services that are available to students and researchers. I’d like to do this through an event during Freshers,…
