Objectives

So we finally set our objectives last week! The objectives are what we want to achieve over the year so here are mine:

  • Provide information and opportunities to develop the personal health and welfare of students and to campaign for the provision of welfare services via four campaigns which I will run throughout the year.

  • Provide support and encouragement to the non-sabbatical officers by arranging monthly support meetings.

  • Co-ordinate elections for Hall Committees in each hall before October 2007.

  • Ensure Hall Committees have all the information necessary to access funds and arrange functions during Semester one and continue the support throughout the academic year.
