My Name is Anne Marie Ward, I am a member of the Travelling Community.

I am a second year student in  BA Community Youth and Family Studies

As an early school leaver and a member of the most marginalised group Travellers in Ireland 

Only 1% of my Community completes Third level Education, I hope that in this role, if elected I can make some postive impact for the future generations of all people from Ethinic groups  attending NUI Galway in the present and future.

I am aware of the barriers and challenges that people from Ethinic groups have to overcome to entry Higher Education

I hope to voice  and highlight the issues for people from Ethnic Minority while attending NUI Galway

I hope to represent all in a fair and equal manner by highlighting the need for leadership roles for our cohort within the NUI Galway

My Vision is to engage with students who fit into ethnic minority cohort in a safe and a caring and professional manner

This will not only impact my life but for those of that cohort  through the Student Union.

I aim to hold a weekly online zoom meeting where I can engage with this cohort
