Cian  Flynn  -­‐  Arts,  Celtic  Studies  and  Social  Science  Candidate  -­‐  Campaign  Manifesto  

My name is Cian Flynn, and I am running for the position of Representative of

Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Science for the coming academic year. I feel

that I have the necessary initiative, drive and most of all approachability to

ensure that the needs of the 8,000 students within the faculty will be catered

for. I feel that it is important that the issues raised by the average student are

heard and addressed, providing tangible results. I realise that some students

may at times feel isolated considering the sheer number of students in some

courses, but as Arts Rep, I hope to help make university life as enjoyable and

fulfilling an experience as possible. Listed below are the steps I wish to take if

elected:

• Introduction of class-based workshops for first year students with

regards to essay writing, researching and referencing in order to bridge

the gap between second and third level education

• Improve communication between class reps and college staff regarding

timetable changes, lecture cancellations and posting of course content

online

• Increase the influence of student-generated feedback towards modules

• Promote integration and communication between years in each course

by interacting with the class reps
