Campaigns officer interview: David Watters

Four candidates, one job, UCLan students will decide. Nafisa Sayani speaks to journalism and politics student, David Watters, about his position on top-up fees, what he plans to campaign on and why he’s the best person for the job.

Why did you decide to stand for this position?

Ever since I got here on Flying Start, I’ve really enjoyed the whole university experience, and it is a bit of a cliché, but I do want to give something back. I’ve had such a good experience, I want to make sure that people coming here have the same enjoyable experience. I think my personality quite fits the whole campaign – I’m quite open and I’d like to think I’m approachable. It’s just something that really interests me. I think it’s something I can definitely get my teeth into and I’ll really enjoy it.

President interview: Gavin Jones

The race for the rather odd shaped office has come down to two contenders, the first of which is Gavin Jones. Dejla Kadhim spoke to the Television production student about his campaign to be President of UCLan Students’ Union.

Why do you want to stand for the position?

I’m very passionate about the university and I’m prepared to represent the university to the highest ability, meeting the needs of future students and primarily to make a rewarding difference to UCLan.
