Profile
I am a 20 year old 2nd year student pursuing a
Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. As
the 2012-2013 Accounting Representative for the
Faculty of Social Sciences Committee I feel I am
more than equipped to serve as the Faculty of
Social Sciences Representative on the Guild.
Experience has taught me the ins and outs of the position and it is my belief that I
can guide the committee to higher levels of success.
In addition, my experience extends to the posts of Treasurer and Floor Member as I
was involved in several committees at college level. My ability to multitask was
highly developed at that stage.
My varied experience coupled with my determination to see the Faculty excel puts
me in the position of best candidate for Faculty of Social Sciences Representative.
My dedication to the faculty knows no bound.
If elected, I will:
• Foster a family type environment and improve the level of communication

Deep within me lies a burning desire for
change and improvement within my
faculty. I would like to be an agent of change
who will aid in harnessing the untapped
potential of this faculty, in an effort to refresh
students’ memories as to why we are called the
“Art Beat of the Campus”.
This is why I, Emmanuella Louis, currently a second year student pursuing my
undergraduate degree in French and Spanish, put forward my bid for candidacy for the
post of Humanities and Education Representative.
Moreover, my interest in community service in my country and my current
involvement in various campus organisations such as UWISTAT, UWIHARP and
LUSAC have equipped me with the necessary skills needed to serve in this capacity.
In my quest to revitalise this faculty, I have outlined four major areas:
