First Man, First Choice!


Introduction:

Hello my name is Adam Doughaili. I am a second-year Human Resource Management student, who is running to be your next Southlands College Deputy President. As your Southlands Deputy I will help make Southlands College more inclusive to commuting and residing campus students. I want Southlands to be ‘Open, Welcoming and Fun’ to be around. When I joined Roehampton it was during the height of the pandemic, which restricted the most part of our university life, but since gaining back our freedoms I vow to make this coming year one to remember!

I have had experience within student government and customer service. I have developed my leadership and communication skills through recent roles, currently working with the NHS vaccination programme and Track and Trace roll out. I have been there to help when my country needed me, now is the time for me to be there for my College and University.

As your Deputy President for Southlands, I will look into all concerns and issues raised and will focus on solutions.

 

What will I do:
