The VP candidate finished up arguing that “the QMU has always been known as the alternative union and as such we should be an inclusive and safe space on campus. With the return of weekly Wednesday club nights I hope to cater to the diverse student population by putting on a range of club nights in collaboration with student clubs and societies. As students move away from drinking culture, it is vital we put on consistent and varied events that best enhance the student experience”.
