Having said our goodbyes to our previous Officer Team, we are now saying hello to our new team of Officers at Coventry University Students' Union! Our new set of officers consists of Desmond, Bianca, Chisom and Catherine; they will be fulfilling the four new full-time roles of President, Education Officer, Activities Officer and Community Officer.
They will work together with each other and the University to ensure students across Coventry University feel comfortable and supported here. You can find out more about them through their introductions below...
Desmond - President
Hi! My name is Desmond Ikponmwosa Omokaro. I originate from Benin City, Nigeria, and I am your President! I am here to make sure you have a brilliant time studying at Coventry University. I studied International Business Management (MSc) at Coventry City Campus; in my time studying, I was a Student Ambassador. In my spare time, I like travelling, spending time with friends and family, and I’m up for having fun.
I am very passionate about making sure you have an amazing experience at Coventry University. Always feel free to stop me and have a chat during university hours; whether that be about your experiences, your wellbeing, or if you have any suggestions for us, let me know!
I will be visiting your campus at different points throughout this year. I want to try my best to make sure everyone enjoys and feels comfortable studying at CU Group, no matter where they're studying. I am very social and success driven; I really want to make sure that at the end of my role, we were able to make tangible impacts that will shape the Students' Union.
Bianca – Education Officer
Hi, my name is Bianca Andrei and I am your Education Officer! I am here to represent your Student Voice, as well as try to improve your learning experience. I have just graduated from my degree in Multimedia Computing (BSc) and I have been actively involved in the Student Experience system since I arrived at Coventry University.
I’ll occupy the role creatively, encouraging other ways of seeing the future which focuses on collectively and compassion. Education is so much more than an economic good, it is an opportunity to think, explore and create with freedom and I am here to support you with that!
Chisom – Activities Officer
Hi everyone, I’m Chisom C. Ezeanochie, your Activities Officer for the 2022/23 year! I’ll be in charge of all things fun – Sports, Societies and much more! Before this role, I was a Post Graduate student in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, studying Pharmacology and Drug Discovery at Coventry University.
My primary aim as Activities Officer is to enhance student engagement, help to support and form new and existing societies and organise fun social events!
Catherine – Communities Officer
Hello, my name is Catherine and I am your Community Officer for 2022/23! I studied BA Sociology at Coventry University and undertook a placement year with City Year UK (an education inequality charity). I will work collaboratively with the university to make the inclusion policies more student focused, increase accessibility to green spaces in and around campus, and lead initiatives to tackle student loneliness.
Throughout the year, I will attend a variety of meetings to represent the student perspective such as the Student Union’s & University’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Committees as well as Board of Trustees. Looking forward to the year ahead and to get started on campaigns!
