VP of Academic Affairs: Alex Louch

Louching Tiger Hidden Dragon

How has your Exeter University experience been? What are you studying?

So far my Uni experience has truly been the best part of my life. I've enjoyed every minute from my first day in Lafrowda, and I've definitely made friends for life. Also, I've loved getting stuck into the societies and the Guild, playing jazz with EUJO, Cricket for EUMCC, Snowsports and loads of others! As part of the Guild I've also had some of the most enjoyable and fulfilling roles possible, working hard to lobby the council on 'Save Our Streetlights' and representing all of the Subject Chairs on the Faculty Board. I'm a third year studying history now, and the course is also fantastic, but third year is definitely a step up in work load. Oh and I've met my amazing girlfriend who would definitely kill me if I didn't mention that.

What would your dream job be?

Dream job........ Possibly a professional cricketer or a sax player, but I'm pretty rubbish at both so no chance there!! I think the dream job now would probably be somewhere where I go in and challenge myself every day and get a really good balance between work and home.

You’re running for VP of Academic Affairs, what are you hoping to change if you win the election?

Essentially I want a closer academic relationship between University staff and students, in order to make sure that every student develops throughout their time at Exeter. Firstly, I want 10 minute feedback from staff on every piece of coursework. I also want greater provision for study space and more accessible module choices! I also want to make sure that the University hold to their commitment to limit course costs, cutting printing costs and working towards an end to Library Fines.

Will you be attending the Vote Fest events?

Of course. I'm really looking forward to the events and I think they are a fantastic way to increase student engagement and votes! LOUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON will be there campaigning in force.

Vote Fest is all about combining music and voting. If you could have any band play in your living room for a night who would it be?

That is such an impossible question. I would have to organise a festival in my living room and then I could get loads of bands to do it. But if I had to choose, it would be Red Hot Chili Peppers with Frusciante in the band.

Any final words for potential voters?

Please get online and Vote!! If you vote for me, I promise to make a positive change for Exeter, to make every degree personal. Look out for LOUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON on campus, you won't be able to miss us!
