Manifesto
Creating a Home Away from Home with Idowu
My name is Idowu Ogunjobi, and I am running to be your next President of Societies & Community because I believe no student should feel like a stranger at Edinburgh Napier. I have always enjoyed bringing people together, and I want to use that passion to make sure every one of our 20,000 students feels like they truly belong.
My Priorities for You:
A United Campus Community: With three separate campuses, it’s easy to feel isolated. I will organize more cross-campus mixers and events to connect Sighthill, Merchiston, and Craiglockhart.
Empowering Societies: Societies are where friendships are born. I will streamline the process for starting new societies and advocate for increased funding to support the growth and development of existing ones.
Support for International Students: Moving to a new country is a massive leap. I will build on the International Guarantor Scheme and host regular "Global Horizons" events to celebrate our incredible diversity.
Fair Housing Advocacy: Edinburgh’s housing market is a challenge. I will work with national organizations, such as the NUS, to advocate for fairer rents and better-quality housing for all students.
Why Vote for Me? I am a listener first and an advocate second. I don’t just want to be a "leader"; I want to be a visible, approachable friend you can talk to on campus.
Let’s build a community that is inclusive, fair, and fun.
Vote Idowu Ogunjobi for President (Societies & Community) – Together, we belong.
