Hi everyone! I'm Aysha and I’m running for Social Mobility and Class Officer.

Through liaising with the SU, coordinating campaigns and actively communicating with students, I hope to allow students from low socio-economic backgrounds to feel supported, respected and proud to be a part of LSE.

Three Key Aims:

Improving experience

• Set and carry out annual objectives which aim to improve the undergraduate and postgraduate experience of working-class and low-income students.
• Connecting eligible low-income students with opportunities to maximise their potential during university and beyond.
• Equipping committees to run societies at lower costs, extra grant/sponsorship application guidance so underprivileged students can participate.

Raising awareness

• SOCIAL MOBILITY CAMPAIGN WEEK – raising awareness of class culture, the low-income university experience, and destigmatising conservations around money.

Collaboration:

• Strengthen our ties with other societies within LSE, as well as other inter-university organisations in the UK to deliver a greater movement for social mobility.

My experiences have strengthened my ties to the community and broadened my support network, exposing me to people with both common and diverse interests. I hope to use these experiences as Social mobility and Class Officer to effectively create an awareness across campus and improve the experiences for my fellow peers.

Best,

Aysha
