I am the Student Voice Ambassador for the Department of Psychology, which means part of my job is to make sure student's thoughts and opinions are heard and taken into consideration in the department. I am involved in Student-Staff Committee meetings, and also organise events (e.g. movie nights, book/craft clubs) for students to help create a stronger learning community.
