VP of Participation and Campuses: Abbe Cooper
Tell us about yourself. What are you studying?
First of all, HELLO! I am Abbe Cooper and I am currently a third year LLB Law student. I really hope to get to know a lot of you during campaign week. You shall see me all over campus running around with a big smile on my face and if you hear a Welsh accent, that’s definitely me telling you all about what I hope to achieve if elected.
What sort of things have you been involved with while you’ve been here at Exeter?
Being a first year student seems so far away now, but from the first weeks at University and becoming a FREP (first year representative) for RAG, to currently being a third year and holding the position Vice President of Bracton Law Society, my University experience has been completely packed.
Not forgetting all those things in between like; the Children in Need ‘task and finish’ group raising over £5000!!; being an Activities and Volunteering assistant (Yes I am one of those people you see sitting behind the desk in the A&V Hub); working in the Guild Bars; Lemon Grove and the Ram serving you curly fries, and the most amazing week of Welcome Team, this year including a position as Senior Team member.
Why did you decide to run for VP of Participation and Campuses?
The main reason I decided to run was down to the University experience that I have had myself. Having participated and having jumped into every given opportunity, I have been able to meet so many different people that have completely made my last 3 years here at Exeter. It all boils down to seeing some changes within the Guild that I feel are important, and ensuring that I can make EVERY student feel as involved as possible, and enabling them to have an amazing student experience too.
What are your plans if you win?
There are lots of exciting plans in the pipeline. All plans include all campuses and I will give you four sentences to sum it up
-SOC-CESS
- A BETTER FORUM....?
- VOLUN-TIER-ING
- FOR EVERY STUDENT
What’s the best band you’ve ever seen live?
The best band, now that’s a hard one! I listen to all different types of music but I can tell you that I recently went to watch Benjamin Francis Leftwich, who I absolutely loved! But I hear Kaiser Chiefs are coming to the University soon so snapping a ticket up for that is on my post election to-do list!
Any final words for our readers?
If you want to find out more, head to the Guild Website to read my manifesto, follow me on twitter or find me on Facebook. I will be around all week, and am one very excited candidate!!
VOTE COOPER FOR PAC!
