Bhaskar Bukkanahalli Shivanna (he/him)
Postgraduate Officer
Hello!
My name is Bhaskar, and I am your Postgraduate Officer at the UEA Student Union (SU). As an international student pursuing my Master's in Law, I am passionate about representing and working for the welfare of postgraduate community. My mission is to gather feedback on your experiences at UEA and ensure your voices are heard at the SU and other platforms of the university.
I am dedicated to building a strong and engaged postgraduate community and promoting active engagement in activities on campus. To facilitate this, I will be working from the Graduate Centre in the Scholars Lounge every Tuesday and for 5 hours a week at the Officers Hub in the Hive, ensuring ease of communication for postgraduate students. I look forward to working with you and fostering an inclusive and vibrant campus life.
Your Postgraduate Officer represents you.
The Postgraduate Officer is a full-time representative of students, focusing on education and academic issues that affect students on PGR (Postgraduate Research) and PGT (Postgraduate Taught) courses.
My Manifesto
My top three goals for the next year are:
- Formal & Social Gatherings - I am dedicated to organizing formal gatherings for postgraduates, fostering networking and idea exchange. These events will help create a supportive environment, empowering students to build connections and enhance their UEA experience.
- Employability Events - Coordinating with departments and the union, I aim to enhance employability events and job fairs, creating a supportive environment that empowers postgraduate students to achieve their professional goals and thrive.
- Increased PG engagement with SU & International Student Support - To increase postgraduate student engagement in activities and provide opportunities, I will work on introducing PG representatives in clubs and societies. Additionally, I am committed to ensuring strong support for international students.
