Glasgow University Students Representative Council

Austen Waite

My name’s Austen Waite, I’m a fourth-year student in Philosophy & Theology.

Over the past few years as an SRC Freshers’ Helper, being a class rep, and from starting an affiliated society, I’ve come to understand the full breath of what the SRC can offer.  Therefore, I’d love to represent you on council.

I’ll ensure that class reps are communicating more regularly with each other and myself, so that ideas and improvements can be discussed freely and the full range of support from the SRC can be utilised.

I’m keen to see the subject societies engaging more with classes and promoting their events to students at all levels of study. Doing so, we can build a stronger community within the humanities, something I feel has been lacking during my time at uni.

Lastly, if elected, I will be visible to both students and staff to make sure that humanities students’ views and needs can be addressed in the quickest and best possible manner.

Despite what you might think after reading my manifesto, I promise my chat is half decent, so if you see me around campus please say hello and discuss why I’m best suited as your school rep!
