Name: Mohsin Alli
Running for: President for Societies & Community
Course: BSc Computer Science, Year 2
Previous involvement with ENSA: None.
Manifesto
Societies and communities shape our student experience, but too often they face unclear processes, limited support, and students feeling disconnected.
As an international student, I understand how important representation and belonging are. Last year, many of you supported me as runner-up. I listened, learned, and gained the experience needed to make real change. This year, I’m ready to deliver.
My Priorities
International Student Representation
Ensuring international student voices are heard, supported, and fully included in student life.
LGBTQ+ Inclusion & Safe Spaces
Actively supporting LGBTQ+ students and societies, advocating for safe, welcoming environments, and celebrating diversity across campus.
Stronger Support for Societies
Clear communication, fair access to funding, and practical guidance for society committees—especially smaller and newer societies.
Action & Accountability
Listening to students, raising your issues, and delivering realistic outcomes with transparency and integrity.

+If elected, what would you do to address the issues faced by students around housing?
Housing is one of the biggest pressures students face, and while the university controls accommodation, the Students’ Union has a responsibility to represent, support, and advocate.
If elected, I would focus on three key areas:
First, representation and advocacy.
I would actively raise student housing concerns with the university and accommodation providers, especially around affordability, quality, and contract fairness. Student voices need to be heard clearly and consistently at decision-making tables.
Second, support and information.
I would work to ensure students — particularly international students and first-years — have clear guidance on housing options, contracts, and their rights, so no one feels lost or taken advantage of.
Third, community and communication.
I would collaborate with societies and relevant student groups to gather feedback on housing issues and make sure concerns are communicated transparently, with regular updates on what is being pushed forward.
Housing affects wellbeing, finances, and academic life.
While I can’t solve everything overnight, I can promise to listen, speak up, and push for real improvements on behalf of students.
+If elected, how would you work with student societies?
If elected, my approach to working with student societies would be collaborative, transparent, and hands-on.
First, I would listen.
I would regularly meet with society leaders through open forums and informal check-ins, so their concerns, ideas, and challenges are heard directly — not filtered or delayed.
Second, I would support, not complicate.
I would work to make processes like funding, events, and communication clearer and more accessible, especially for smaller and newer societies that often feel overlooked.
Third, I would represent societies strongly.
I would make sure society voices are clearly represented in Students’ Union discussions and raise their issues with the university when needed.
Most importantly, I would be present and approachable. Societies should see their president as someone they can talk to easily and rely on to follow through.
My goal is simple: to help societies thrive and build a stronger, more connected student community.
