Bana Asqalan
VP Societies & Sport
Hii guys! I am Bana, your VP Societies and Sport.
About me
- I am an international student (from Jordan to be specific).
- I am currently doing a degree in Genetics BSc, hopefully, I’ll graduate in 2026 (if I actually study in third year).
- Fun fact: I have a twin brother but we look NOTHING alike. But you can be the judge of that:
- I have a dog and a cat, so if you ever see me run to pet a dog don’t laugh at me.
Why I ran for VP Societies & Sport
My friends thought I would be a good fit for the role and pushed me to nominate myself and after seeing the many issues I could help solve for Royal Holloway students, I decided to run!
My Manifesto
My main goal is to make students feel heard and to voice their concerns. I understand that different students, go through different struggles so never hesitate to reach out to me, no matter how silly you think it might be.
I plan to:
- Introduce strength and conditioning classes for the sports teams that need it.
- Improve the gym by extending operating hours and upgrading the equipment.
- Streamline the event proposal process for societies.
Top tips
- Take it easy, don’t overwork yourself!
- Don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone and try new things out (while staying safe ofc!)
- Make the most out of uni!
Looking forward to working with you all!
