Hi Everyone!

My name is Fortune. I am an International History and Politics student originally from Bristol. Starting out in a new city without knowing anyone I know how lonely university can be sometimes. My goal as ACS President will be to make the society a safe space where we can enjoy, and make the most of university life whilst reaping help and support on our career and self-development journeys.

If I gain the role of being your ACS President I understand the importance of Vision overseeing the running of the society. My vision for the ACS can be summarised in three words/letters :

C.E.O :

*Community*

I have a strong passion for empowering the black community. Ensuring we foster a great sense of community in the society will be my main goal when organising and overseeing the running of the Society. I will do this by ensuring events are inclusive and accessible to all members of the society.

*Enjoyment*

As we all know - University can be stressful. I want the ACS to be a place where we can step back and relax. We may not be in the Midlands but I will try my best to make sure we put the 'Uni' in university through a wider range of affordable, enjoyable events.

*Opportunities*

This will be one of my priorities if I do become president. During my term as president, I will aim to make the ACS more focused on excelling so we can all strive towards our individual life goals and make progress in our career paths. I will make the platform a place that supports all members of the ACS community by providing opportunities for:

-Personal and Career Growth

-To get involved in society/community (I.e. events)

-Improving Wellbeing

And these are just a few ideas.

I understand the weight and demands of this position. What makes me equipped for this role is my hands-on experience in the workplace. As a Research Assistant for a public body of the Government (Public body), I completed a large-scale funded project within the timescale of 3 months. This has taught me many skills from project and time management to collaboration with other people. I have also worked for the NHS as a Health Care Assistant full time, working beside healthcare professionals so I understand the importance of communication and more technical obligations such as code of conduct, risk assessments and information management.

Overall, being an active member of the ACS from attending the HSBC Careers Event, meeting lovely people, to even taking part on the panel on Take Me Out has enriched my university life so far and my sole purpose in being President will be to provide a great experience for others.

Feel free to DM me, if you have any questions or just want to chat. If you like the sound of anything I've said so far please do give me a vote -you won't regret it!

p.s. I promise I'm super approachable so If you see me in person feel free to say hello x
