Student Action logo
Friday, 13th March 2009
The Yorker interviews Rachel Hesselwood, who is running for Student Action Officer unopposed.
  • Relevant experience?

Vanbrugh Student Action Rep 08, Student Action One Off Projects Coordinator 08-09, help out on weekly project KEEN (Kids Enjoy Exercise Now), went on Kids Camp Easter 08, helped organise the painting of the Student Action Mural, been a qualified Rainbow and Guide leader for two years, organised concerts for the elderly, going to Chile in the summer to train young women on leadership skills, working with the homeless and painting houses in Virginia, USA.

  • Why are you running?

I am running because I feel I have a lot to offer Student Action in terms of dedication and enthusiasm. I strongly believe in volunteering, both to help other people and to develop the individual. I think its really important that outsiders see positive images of students in the community, and think community links should be kept well developed. I have really enjoyed being involved in Student Action so far, and want to continue developing it to make it bigger and better!

  • Why should students vote for you?

Students should vote for me becuase I have the experience and enthusiasm to really develop volunteering at York. I'm fully dedicated to my policies, in particular helping students gain national recognition for volunteering in order to aid with their CVs etc. I will put loads of effort into Student Action, and will make finding volunteering opportunities a lot easier!

  • The best thing I've done at uni is...

Kids Camp. It was a fantastic experience, I made so many really good friends, it was great to meet students from different colleges, different subjects and different years and really get to know them. The kids were challenging but amazing, I learnt so much about myself in just one week!

  • Guilty Pleasure?

Vanilla angel delight....it's amazing.
