<div class="fr-view"><p>Don&#8217;t worry folks, I&#8217;m not going to rehash my manifesto! You all know <a href="https://secure.cesvotes.com/V3-4-0/opensu/en/home?bbp=92254&;x=-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">where</a> to read it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m Kit Renard. Currently a Level 2 English Literature and Creative Writing student, but I&#8217;ll be starting Level 3 in October.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a disabled queer trans man from Glasgow, and I love to volunteer. I&#8217;ve held loads of different roles around OpenSU, from the Student Senate Reference Group to Chair of Pride. I also volunteer out with the SU in roles ranging from the board of Trans Pride Scotland to legal tribunals such as Children&#8217;s Hearing Panels.</p>
<p>This means I draw upon a broad range of experience, something I think is key to being President of the SLT. You don&#8217;t just need to be a leader, you need to understand the various different aspects of OpenSU and the Open University, from the inside <em>and</em> out.</p>
<p>But I don&#8217;t only bring experience with the mechanisms of the SU! One of the things I&#8217;m proudest of is bringing Pride through a period of turmoil to the fabulous space we have today. I worked hard with the committee (KJ, Oskar, Kevin, and Kathy) to make Pride something to be proud of. We&#8217;ve had so many amazing events. We&#8217;ve stood up for the most marginalised when the OU wouldn&#8217;t. If I&#8217;m elected, my one regret will be having to leave the Pride committee!</p>
<p>I want to bring this dedication to students all the way to the top, and I can only do that if you vote Kit Renard #1 on the 17th April.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading, and best of luck to all our incredible candidates.</p>
<p>P. S. If you want a President who has the blessings of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from the House of Nunsense, vote Kit Renard #1!</p>
