Sanjna for VP of Masters
GISA 2023
Why Am I Running for this position?
As a first year ANSO student, I want to represent both disciplinary and MINT programmes/tracks equally. I aim to bridge the gap in engagement between various programmes and the institute.
We have invested significant amounts of labour, time and resources to receive a master’s education here. While pushing for more equitable policies on housing and welfare together with GISA, my specific focus is on improving our academic experience.
Below is a condensed version of the specific goals I want to achieve.
Please write to me on sanjna.yechareddy@graduateinstitute.ch so we can continue these conversations on how to make this space better.

what Makes me qualified to do this?
My approach is one driven by the need for collaboration.
I have experience working with a number of student societies at the University of Edinburgh. I also come with professional experience working with NGOs, archives, museums and cultural centres.
I know how to build bridges between various actors in a system to work together.
Last semester, I worked with the Welfare Committee to assist with communications.
We need a candidate who is able to listen and understand problems of diverse communities and programmes at the institute.
We need a voice driven by empathy and care.
I believe I can be this candidate to serve our student community.
