Spotlight on Student Volunteers: Freddie Yeates
|
What Volunteering Roles do you have? Or have most enjoyed?
|
|
I am an Academic Representative for Year 1 Geography in the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences.
|
Why do you volunteer?
|
|
I love being able to make a difference for a large cohort, and make their voices heard at a higher level and help alleviate problems they see within their courses.
|
What is your best feel good moment as a volunteer?
|
|
I was able to get a timetable corrected, due to 1 day a week having 5 lectures in a day, 2 of which were 2 hours long. I was also able to correct the issue of lecturers starting early, directly improving how students felt about their lectures.
|
What benefits have you gained as a volunteer?
|
|
I have been able to help the people around me. And, I attend Rep only events during termtime.
|
What volunteering roles are you looking forward to?
|
|
I am looking forward to applying for Undergraduate Faculty Officer next year for FELS to make an even more pronounced improvement for students, and make sure I can make student life as best it can be!
