Ki ora!
I’m Gregory, in my final year of accounting and finance, running for LUSA President for 2021 alongside Lincoln Roper for Vice-President. Thoroughly enjoying my time here at Lincoln, I want to make your uni experience even better!
Reasons to vote for me:
Strong leadership and advocacy – Keeping students as the #1 priority!
Strategic financial management – So we can continue to run Garden Party, free food, and continue LUSA’s awesome mahi.
Diversify revenue streams – Focus on growing LUSA’s commercial revenue streams, to reduce sole reliance on the student levy.
Reinstate the gun locker at Lincoln University – Safely catering for students who enjoy the outdoors.
Policy in detail:
Strong leadership is an essential component of governance. Being Secretary of LUSA in 2020 has allowed me to gain institutional knowledge into how LUSA operates. As President, I will continue to advocate for you to make sure Lincoln University continues to place students at the centre of what they do. Already being aware of students’ many needs and concerns, I will fight for a harmonious working relationship between students and the University. This especially includes increasing collaboration with Postgrads and Te Awhioraki.
Strategic financial management is essential for financial stability. This will allow LUSA to continue putting on awesome events, like Winter Ball, Garden party, free food and club grants. With unexpected events like COVID-19 and a national lockdown, we have seen a drop in student enrolments. This has affected our levy, which we rely on as our primary revenue stream. I aim to use my accounting and finance background, as well as my experience as a treasurer to ensure LUSA stays financially stable through uncertain economic times.
Diversification of LUSA’s revenue streams will be vital to LUSA’s long-term financial prosperity. I aim to collaborate with the General Manager of LUSA to develop a portfolio of potential investments. It is vital that the one-off insurance pay-out for the student union building is invested well.
At Lincoln University, many students want to make the most of the hunting opportunities in our fantastic backyard. For this reason, I will work with Lincoln University to reinstate the gun safe on campus so that students can store their firearms safely.
I believe I am your best candidate for President. If elected, I will be passionate about enhancing your student experience and creating great memories!
Cheers,
Gregory Fleming
