Alice Priestley chatted to various students around campus to find out how people perceive the elections on behalf of Label Features… One of the most important roles running Loughborough University is its executive team. Not only do they provide excellent opportunities and activities, they also ensure support is given to students all the way. I’ve asked a few current students over a range of courses to see what they think of one of the most significant events in the university’s academic calendar. The major reaction recorded, however, may not be how you expected it to be. Greg Brady, a second…

Label interviewed Lauren Gough, and learnt more about her sporting experience and plans for the VP Sport role. Why are you running for this position? Since my first year I’ve been really involved in sport here on all different levels. Sport is so unique at Loughborough so I wanted to be involved as much as I could. As I’ve gotten further through uni I’ve taken on so many different and more responsible positions that I can see so much I want to do with sport here in terms of changing things and helping things grow. It is a natural progression…

Steph Noble told Label all about her experience within this section and why she wants your votes. Why are you running for this position? I am running for VP Welfare and Diversity mainly because I feel I have the passion and experience the section deserves. I have worked a lot within it since I have been at university, so that’s two and a half years where I have gone from being a volunteer- winning best volunteer last year which is fantastic, going on to the LGBT committee and also being Mental Health Coordinator, so I have got a lot of…
Label interviewed Gemma Lomas to find out why she is running for VP Welfare and Diversity. Why are you running for this position? I’ve always been massively involved in the welfare of minority and majority student groups at Loughborough and it just makes sense for me to do this position. In all honesty I‘ve watched Georgie in my first year, and Izzy develop on the fantastic foundation we have got now for Welfare and Diversity, being part of that would just be an absolutely amazing experience. What makes you more suited than other candidates? I think, being a part time…
