Students with Disabilities' Officer

Hey there, I am Jacob, your student with disabilities officer! I study Business and Psychology and I am in my second year. I chose this role because I believe I can be a student with a difference in BNU, where disabilities are an important part of university; students can get diagnosed during their course, finally get the support they need, or be a part of a campaign that drives the exact thing they would experience. I can be a young voice that carries the message that should be expressed and acted on in the university. I want to make changes in the Students’ Union that encourages students to look beyond their disability and know there are no limitations that the world can have on their joy and university experience.

My areas of focus, along with many more, are to bring students with disabilities, and those who want to know about it, together. Making the university more accessible than it has been before by campaigns and awareness around the SU to ensure all students really feel comfortable where they study. One of the ways we will do this are events to bring an understanding of what are the common problems students with disabilities have had and what has been done to aid them. The outcome of these events is to understand what students can be provided with in their university and how can we make it better.
