Co-President Welfare and Liberation

WELCOME FROM Zaid (He/Him) Co-President Welfare and Liberation

Hey everyone!

Firstly, welcome to all new students and welcome back to all continuing students; I’m really excited to meet everyone properly over the next few weeks and months, and I look forward to planning a good year with you all.

I’m Zaid, your new Welfare and Liberation Co-President, and what that means is that over the next year I am your go to person when it comes to all things Enough is Enough, Liberation campaigns, and so much more. I was elected on a manifesto that promised to look at all the marginalised and under-represented groups on campus and make sure that as a Student’s Union we are properly representing you and making SOAS campus a space where you feel safe, included, and empowered.

SOAS has always been a space for activism and fighting for social justice. Bringing this atmosphere back to our campus is a number one priority for me, and this is something that has to be done collaboratively and communally. If we're not standing up for what we believe in as a community, then we threaten to fall short of all our aims.

This process of tackling the major issues students have been facing for years now is not an easy one, but I am so confident that with your help and involvement we can make huge progress and truly transform this campus into one where you all feel welcomed.

Over the course of the year, myself and the other Co-Presidents, Sam and Safia, are planning out an incredible programme so that both inside the classroom and outside, you’re getting everything you need and want from your university experience. From your part-time officers, to student reps, to societies, our job is to make sure you’re supported through it all, and I can’t wait to get started.

Our door in the SU offices is always open, I’ll be on campus 5 days a week and so if you ever want to pop your head in or stop me in the corridor, I’m always happy to chat.

Hope to meet you all soon!
