Name: Bláthnaid Longmore

Student Number: C19329613

Course Code: DT066 (1st Year General Engineering)

Position Contested:  Bolton Street College Officer City Campus

Background:

My name is Bláthnaid Longmore and I’m in my first year in Bolton Street. I’ve been a part of societies since the beginning of the year, most notably as First Year Rep of TUD’s LGBTQ Society. I’ve run events in Bolton Street as part of LGBTQ society and I have experience organising week long events on campus. I also have experience running a social justice club in my secondary school of which I was the co-captain. I helped write motions with the Student Council and I am aware of the responsibilities I would have in this position. I love to work with students and staff in Bolton Street and am an organised, focused individual which I believe makes me a suitable candidate for this position.

Why choose me?:

As college officer I will:

  • Assure that there are more events on site in Bolton Street. Although most students are moving to Grangegorman in September, I will make sure Bolton Street isn’t neglected in the next big change since we became a university.
  • Set up a Google Document and suggestion box in the SU to ensure that all students can have their needs met and to increase the level of student involvement and engagement on campus.
  • Fix broken facilities such as replacing old/dilapidated furniture, blinds and lockers.
  • Build on the wonderful atmosphere we have on campus and make sure that all students (incoming and returning) can enjoy their college experience in a friendly, communal space.
  • Communication is key for me. As much as I would love to do all the things I have planned for Bolton Street, I represent students first.  I will do my duty to you before anything else. I am YOUR college officer. Any issues and I will gladly do all in my power to help you.

My Aims:

I want to build on what previous college officers have done and make this campus the most ideal place for students, whether they be First Years or final years. Feeling comfortable in your education and your college is my priority and I will be there to back you every step of the way. This includes:

  • Having class reps for every course and speaking with them when there are any issues.
  • Speaking on your behalf with staff whenever needed. Good communication with staff and students improves any area's atmosphere and in Bolton it is no different.

As college officer, I am your voice. I’ll speak for you, to you and with you. Go raibh mile maith agaibh.
