Another day, another conference. So here I am at the Black Students Conference, back at the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool. Its a great opportunity for networking, learning and of course voting for the new NUS BLack Student Officer (BSO).
I am very inspired by some of the speakers that are here, especially Lee Jasper. This is a two day conference and its jam packed with events, workshops and talks. One of the most impressionable workshops I attended was a session on how to increase black student involvement in Students' Unions.
Voting took place and the best candidate for the job won, Kanja Sesay is the new BSO.
I also ran for an open caucus position within the NUS, but this was not the day for me and I did not get enough winning votes, although I did write a cracking speech. The position would have enable me to get elbows deep into NUS campaigns and work along side the BSO and others in delivering a strong campaign for the coming year.
Overall this was an enjoyable conference and I will encourage more students to attend next year.
