Many of us international students regard LSE as just a means to an end - a prestigious degree for a prestigious career or postgrad. Should I be elected, the following policies (BOND) can be practically implemented for a more transformative and fun ride through LSE. 

Bridge the cliques: Encourage the mingling of different backgrounds.  
1. Promote and expand the scope of the international students social (does anybody even know this exists?). 
2. Establish a STARs reward category for the “Best Multicultural Event”.

Open up resources: Finding them shouldn’t be a treasure hunt! 
1. Create and share a universal doc of all available resources - from financial and visa support to career planning - with detailed descriptions. 
2. Develop a system of optional PSAs on useful and new resources before every Michaelmas and Lent Term. 

Nurture roots: Enable connections with the wider community. 
1. Increase the slots and frequency of one-off volunteering opportunities. 
2. Establish a STARs reward category for the “Best Inter-school event”. 

Develop futures: Smooth the transition from study to work.  
1. Improve deferral policies for international postgraduate students - an extra year for missing one exam is unfair. 
2. Develop LSE opportunities geared towards international students.
