vp learning & development
SRC Elections 2011 // 01.03.11 // VP Learning and Development
VP Learning & Development is a role that carries a range of positions; bridging both the sobriety of following the University’s academic policy as well as the less sober mess of Freshers Week. The in coming VP will be thrust into the dizzying hectic world of organising the ‘best week of your life’, before midway through September being dragged back to their desk for a year of reading policies and sitting on committees.
Issues including fees, advisers of studies, class reps, exam timetables and a range of other bits and pieces that play a part of Glasgow student life are all under the remit of VP Learning & Development, so there should be lots to get our teeth stuck into.
Running for the position this year is Razvan Balaban, Cormac Beagan, James Harrison, Kenneth Law, Neal Robb and Marc Smith. The episode also features insights from current VP Learning & Development Tuula Erikkson.

We spoke to three of the candidates running for Vice President Media & Communications - Iain Smith, Sean Anderson and Ross Mathers. We also spoke with disqualified candidate John Donaldson. Fida Muhammad Bazai is also standing for this position but he did not reply to our invitation. Current VP Comms Luke Winter also spoke with us, providing some useful insights into the role.
The candidates were asked some questions specific to their own manifestos and backgrounds as well as questions on some of the key issues of the role.
