Bringing accessibility, inclusivity, and fidget toys to the table!
As the current Neurodivergent Students’ Officer, I have taken great pride in representing the Neurodivergent and Disabled community over the past year. I am, therefore, excited to seek re-election within the newly merged role of Neurodivergent and Disabled Students’ Officer. Receiving a second term in office will allow me to continue our fight to create a more disability-friendly LSE, with a particular focus on achieving:
- Creating an Accessible Welcome Week: To help Neurodivergent and Disabled students transition to LSE, I will organise a series of disability-focused Welcome-Week events, in addition to advocating for greater inclusivity across the wider event schedule.
- Continued Advocaction towards LSE Departments: Working with LSE Life and the Library has delivered rewarding results this year, with a Neurodiversity Peer-Mentoring scheme now in the pipeline! Re-election will allow me to continue this productive process.
- More Inclusive LSESU Societies and Sports Clubs: I will empower clubs and societies to be more inclusive by developing new training and resources within the Students' Union, preventing exclusion.
To create a truly disability-friendly university, LSE needs to hear the voices of Neurodivergent and Disabled students, alongside recognising the diversity in our experiences. Providing a mandate to me, will ensure our voices are heard!
