Connor Bayliss

- Staffordshire University President 2019 - 2021
- Staffordshire Stallions Social and Communications Officer 2021 - 2023

- MSc Digital Marketing Management

Len this year has made more of an impact in his first term than I've seen a lot of officers do for a long time. The officers you see the least are usually the ones trapped in University meetings fighting the battles for students.

Actually holding University Staff accountable is a difficult task and he's not afraid to do so, someone like that is who is also self-accountable is what we need at the front leading Staffs, someone as President who is not only able to help new incoming officers be as ruthless, but someone who is also able to help our current students run their own campaigns and really drive forward the change they are passionate about. 

I have faith in him to complete what he sets out to do and look forward to hearing about the accomplishments that him and our students achieve together in bettering Staffs.

Len would make an incredible SU Officer for 2023/24. Seeing how Len has worked within his role this year has been amazing, he strives to be inclusivity and is genuinely such a considerate person. Any time that I have had a problem at university this year I have been able to talk to Len or arrange a meeting where they always show interest in what I have to say, extremely professional, and do what they can to help. I think that if Len was elected this year, he would continue to do amazing things for the union and for the student body. He will represent students with compassion and would work incredibly hard to support anyone who came to him.

Len always shows his passion in making improvements to the University all day every day. He is a hard-working, friendly individual who takes pride in supporting students and makes sure everyone’s opinions are listened to. I’ve had numerous laughs with Len as well as him offering me advice and making the time to have a catch-up. Len has had a fantastic year as a Union officer and I’m absolutely sure he can do it all again! I wish you all the best of luck Len!

He is hardworking and determined to make Staffs a better place for students. He can put a smile on your face even if you're having a bad day!

Len Stuart in my opinion over his time as vice president has always put what matters to the Union and the Students first and always works in the interest of us. He is a friendly and welcoming person who has always been up for a chat and very visible as a leader. I personally think Len helps represent everyone and is there for everybody and will always be there to listen. I personally feel like Staffordshire University will be in good hands if Len is re-elected and I know that he can be a positive change for the Union.

Over the short time I’ve known Len, he has been one of the most welcoming and warm people I have ever met. He’s always been willing to help and give his own time up for others, he has become an extended member of the lacrosse family and all of us hold him with high praise.

Len is an amazing person and I would be more than happy to support him in the leadership race. He has already made some amazing changes to the students union as well as supporting so many students and societies. I know personally that since I've known Len he has always supported me when I've needed it, this is from supporting me with university issues and when I've needed a friend to talk to. I cannot wait to see what else Len will achieve for new and current students.

From the first time I met Len in a shared module I knew he was someone I could trust in and speak to if I ever needed anything. Len has given my plenty of advice and a hug if ever needed. Giving my advice and help towards my final year event and always offering a helping hand! I don’t think it even needs to be thought about when you’re voting for Len, you’ll always have my vote #LeadWithLen!

Len is a vet when it cones to student's union and is a well known face on campus. I have been friends with Len since my second year and is someone I have spoken to when it comes to the safety of student on campus concerning its nightlife. His campaign to tighten security for safety including the Spike test kits These are a few of the schemes that I'm sure the student body will take positively and the hopes to have a safer university experience.

I met Len in 2021 and he has done nothing but impress me through the strength of his character and his convictions. Len is constantly supporting both Student Union venues (always a friendly face), and sports teams. He is such a visible presence for the students union and has done so much for Staffordshire University students this year. My personal favourite of which was standing up for LGBTQ+ students by being part of a peaceful protest at a local pride event. This university, union and students need Len to continue improving all students’ lives during a tumultuous time. Vote Len!

Len and I have worked together quite a bit this year - from my role as department rep with him as JSS’s officer and being part of trustee board, Len’s always someone who’s viewpoint and opinion has meant a lot. He’s been a great person to work alongside, even when we’ve disagreed or had different approaches, he’s always respectful and tried to understand my view, even when I’ve been wrong. He’s passionate about helping and supporting students and has really shown that not just with the campaigns he’s worked (like the rainbow laces campaign, making campus more inclusive and his work with lecture capture and consent awareness) but his actions outside of office hours.

I am writing this letter to extend my support and endorsement to Mr Len Stuart’s campaign for student body president.

I’ve only know Len for a about 8 months now yet during those months, len has truly shown what an amazing and charismatic man he is but also what an valuable friend he is. In the many a times that our paths have crossed, whether that being in and around staffs campus or at an planed staffs event he can always be seen bonding with fellow students. Len has dedicated time and effect into trying to creating a better staff’s experiences for all.  

I can confidently say that Len Stuart will have many a great ideas that will further push staffs and make it a more enjoyable place for students.

I met Len in my third year at Staffs before he had his first year as a student union officer and I don't think anyone could've convinced me that they deserved it more quicker than he did. He's been a consistently friendly face around campus and someone I've never been nervous to talk to. He is known across the board for his active involvement and support of student groups from the LGBTQ+ community to the sports societies. His experience in representing the student body makes him an obvious choice for this year. If you want someone to make your voice heard, Len is the person for you.

Hi I’m Johnathan and I’m a second year sports journalism student. I am backing Len for President of the Students Union. I have know Len for a couple of years now and I believe Len is the best person for the job. He cares about this university and it’s students and if anyone is to make an actual changes around campus then Len will. He has been an NUS delegate for the past four years and if that is not a sign that Len has good intentions I don’t know what is. Vote Len for President of the SU you won’t regret it.

I haven’t known Len for a long time, yet long enough to speak confidently and positively about his character. He’s nothing but approachable and will chat about literally anything, he takes his role seriously but knows how to relax and have a good time. He’s reliable and the kind of guy I’d like to have my back if I were here another year.

Len should be your number one vote for officer this year not because of him having a year experience but because of how I felt he did in that year making his voice heard at events both in and out side of this university as well as being someone to go to for support both in both my personal  and professional life whiles being at the university

Len has been a remarkable member of the union over the course of last year making many active involvements to changes as well as always being open to talk to whether you're needing support or just want to chat, always putting everyone's interests first. As such I believe Len would be a valuable member for the student union this year

Hi I’m Jack and I’ve been at staffs for almost a year now, I met len at the start of the year in karaoke, I think Len would be great for president due to the fact that whenever I’ve needed advice with stuff I’ve struggled with, he’s been able to guide me to the appropriate resources to help me out. He never fails to care for students in need of something and never struggles to check up on anyone and how they’re doing.

Meeting Len for the first time when drunk is one of the best things that happened. He immediately made sure I was ok and made sure I got home ok. I have continued to see this same aprroachable, caring attitude towards everyone that he meets looking after them should they need it. Whenever talking to Len I can tell he is committed to trying to improve conditions in and around the university this is why he will be a great president to lead us into 23/24.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Len for the last 2 years. Even before Len was given the opportunity to become the student union vice president, he would always be around to give advice and guidance to anyone that may need it. Len works hard day in and day out to make sure that everybody at this university has a fair chance and is able to feel welcome and a real member of the Staffordshire university community. Len is also massively involved in sports, coming to a lot of socials, always making sure everyone is having a good time and integrating with everyone there. He has been a voice for change around the university bringing students to the forefront of university life and making the changes that you want. So vote Len for change and a more unified University community

I believe Len would make an brilliant union president as he has loads of fresh ideas and an unmatched personality that students have responded extremely well to over his time at staffs and I know he would continue to surpass expectations as president. If you want a person you can believe in not only as an officer but also as a friend Len is the person for the job

I am endorsing Len Stuart to be the new president of Staffordshire University's Student Union 

 

Len's manifesto is everything we need for breaking down barriers and creating a solid rock all students can stand on, no matter what background you are from. 

 

His planned work on diversity and decolonising of the education system is going to be second to none in many ways most of all knowing Len and his firm attitude to work ethics IT WILL GET DONE.  

 

Len will unit and build student support networks for everyone and also progress further all the good work he has already established as an elected official in the last year.

 

To summarize my words VOTE LEN

There are not enough words to detail my admiration for Len. Often when I see him around campus or out on the town he’s a warm sight, a hearth to relax at. A kind, funny gentleman, there is no one I would rather see in his shoes. He makes me feel represented and spoken for, and that is a feeling I could never repay if I tried. The only thing left to say is thank you, Len, and here’s to another year of your brilliance.

I have known Len for a little less than 2 years now and in all this time I’ve really come to appreciate him not only in the good times but I know I can always go to when there is an issue. I‘ve always known Len to be friendly to everyone and insanely reliable which makes him a candidate for all. He’s worked hard this year making sure he’ll realize his manifesto and I know he is especially proud of introducing the Consent Module which allows students all over university to be educated about how important consent is nowadays and to be honest, always has been. If there is one thing that I appreciate about Len the most it is that when he says he will do something, he will do it! I have no doubt in my mind that Len will be in the right place as our Student Union President and I can’t wait to see all the things he will do.

I have seen Len grow and integrate himself into the student community over the past 4 years. Before, during and after my tenure as president, one face that never failed to be in the room was Len. If it affected students, he was there.

I have first-hand seen and dealt with Len in council and boards and I would not want any other student sat there, holding me to account.

He is willing to be fierce and ready to fight for every single students corner no matter the topic

He always shows up with a plan to get things done

I met Len at the start of the year while working with him for the SU, and since then we have become good friends.

I think he would make a great officer for 22/23 because he actually cares he has a good heart and if something is needing to be changed then Len will do it. I have put my faith in Len and so should you.

I have found him to be fair, of sound judgment, committed and focused on his goals. Which is why I think he would make a fantastic officer.

Len is a stand up guy. He is very motivated to improve the lives of the students at Staffs, as can be seen by his commitments to the LGBT+ Network and his role as a Union Team Member. He's already worked closely with the Students Union throughout his time at Staffs and knows the inner workings well. He has solid plans and ideas and Len is the kind of guy who, once he's said he's going to do something he WILL do it. He is a strongminded individual and I know that if he gets voted as President he will make sure that not only himself, but his officer team is dedicated to the student experience.

I met Len at the start of my current foundation year, and I immediately got the impression that he is eager to talk to other students and offer help and advice - holding their best interests at heart. As a member of the Union Information Team and a well-established member of the LGBT+ Network, I know he can represent students with compassion and inclusivity. I believe that the great ideas that Len has for the Students’ Union combined with his voice of reason will make him a force for positive change at the university. I can confidently say that having Len represent the student body as an elected officer would make me and others very Proud to be Staffs.

Len is a very hardworking individual who is always known to fight for what he believes in. He is of course a keen advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and fights for the right support for those with learning disabilities at the uni. He would make a great officer.

Students' Union Vice President 2018-2019 & 2020-2021

Len has proven year after year that he would be perfect as an officer. His passion and determination has already secured impactful changes for students, and he will only continue to go bigger and better as an officer. He’s worked with officer teams for years to support all students, providing feedback and being one of the biggest union ambassadors. Len won’t shy away from difficult conversations or decisions and will always do what’s best for students. We’ve worked together for many years at the union, and I always knew that Len will make a great officer.

I’ve known Len for many years now and he is an amazing person. I can’t tell you the number of times he has given me the best advice or just been a person to hear me rant about my stresses of university and life. I am so lucky I got introduced to him because not only can he throw a party you don’t want to miss, he is an all-around genuine person. #LeadWithLen, he is definitely what this university needs and you won’t regret it

What to say about Len? When he first told me he was running for Full Time Officer, I was ecstatic! Len is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. He's kind, generous, well-motivated, and hard working. I can't say I know of many people that outwork Len. He's passionate about helping others, and his contributions to the students here are countless. He's helped me, and others, in ways I can't even begin to explain. Watching him do what he does these past few years has been my absolute honour, and I can confirm without a doubt, that he would be the right choice for next academic year's Officer. I can't wait to see what more he'll achieve, and what more he will accomplish for this university and it's students

I haven’t known Len for as long as some people have but in the time that I have known him, he is a gentle giant who cares about anyone and everyone. Every time I have needed help, he has always been there for me, he is a great friend and a great person, and I think he will be a great contribution to the officer team. He is passionate about what he believes in, he stands up for the little person and gives everyone a voice.

Len! What can I say about Len? What an actual legend. A pogchamp kind of guy. He’s dedicated, brilliant and has a very practical attitude towards problems. I’ve known Len since I started university, and he has been a constant source of positive change and hard work for students and for groups like the LGBT+ Network. He also introduced me to tequila which changed my life. If you want an officer that knows what they’re doing, actually interacts with students and can do the job, vote for Len.

Len Stuart is an ideal candidate for the Staffs student union. He has helped serve the Uni in many capacities, including LGBT chair back in 2018-2021 and continues to work making Staffs better. He is a loyal friend and has gone out his way to help me arrange accommodation and additional support after becoming an estranged student. I have witnessed him support others through uni related issues in his own time.

Josh Griffin

Third-year BEng (Hons) Computer Games Design, Former Students' Union Duty Manager

I've known Len ever since he first came to Staffs, it wasn't before long that he made a huge impact in my life as well as so many other's with his bold, bright and caring presence. The very definition of loud and proud, Len is one of the most engaged, thoughtful and assertive people I know. I would call Len a true people person, his word is his bond, and he has stood by me and many other friends and fellow students time and time again, whether that was by guiding us to the help we needed, being that much needed ear to listen, or giving a voice to those who struggle to be heard.

I'm voting for Len Stuart as my #1, because when I think of the Students Union, I can't imagine anyone else taking greater care of our students or their needs than him.

During the time I have known him, Len has showed that he is passionate about helping those in need. He has been a huge advocate for not only LGBT+ rights but also for the treatment of all marginalised groups. He is always the first person to lend aid or offer help. I have no doubt in my mind that Len will help lead the Student's Union to an even greater height, and that is why I am voting Len as my #1 choice for president!

From the three years of knowing Len, he has become one of the most kind-hearted individuals, I’ve encountered during my four years at Staffordshire University. The engagement throughout Len’s social and academic achievements shows how truly passionate his campaign is and the future officer in him. From all areas of his life, Len brings deep and supportive understanding to all, whether staff, students or visitors. The caring presence within Len reminds myself and others daily to be a friend to all, and listen to the opportunities set forward by leaders like Len who actively support the wider community here at staffs. #LeadwithLen!

I worked with Len in the kitchen at LRV & Verve and we’ve been friends ever since! Knowing him for all these years I can safely say that he’s dedicated and has a very hands-on approach to his work for Staffordshire University Students’ Union. He fearlessly speaks out against injustice and with so much experience and involvement in many different aspects of university life he’s an excellent candidate for the position of full time officer.

He is dedicated and caring, and always manages to put a smile on my face when we are on shift together.

Len has a wonderful personality and is genuinely so caring and attentive to anyone that he meets, he has always been there for anything I've needed, including being an amazing friend!

I met Len a few years ago at a now very fuzzy karaoke he has always been a joy to be around and an ever listening ear. The more I’ve got to know the Len the more I realise what a character he is he has the drive to better everything his part whether that be his work as the Union, his charity work with LGBT or even how many tequila shots he can see off, this is why I think Len would be a fantastic addition as Union officer

Len is like an older brother to me. He’s helped me so much in university, giving solid advice, aid, and company. He’s so deeply caring for everyone and everything and it really shows. Without hesitation, he supports those when they’re being trodden on or discriminated against. His needs always come second and is willing to help out how/when he can. He’s a lovely person and someone I like to have around for his energy and enthusiasm! This is why I believe he’ll make a strong President for our Union.

Quinn Rothwell

MaNs (Hons) Arts and Creative Technologies (by negotiated study), LGBTQ+ Network Gender Identity Officer.

I was introduced to Len when I returned to university after a long break, he was Communications Officer at the LGBTQ+ Network at the time, I was looking to make new friends and get involved in my community and Len helped me feel happy and comfortable in the network and at the university. Len treats his responsibilities very seriously- in all the roles I’ve known him in at the Network and in the union Len has been a dedicated, enthusiastic, and engaged person who is an asset to any project he takes part in. I m voting for Len and would love to see Len as a student officer as he would give the role the commitment it needs to make real changes, Len is very much a part of and involved with the community at Staffs university and knows the issues that people care about inside and out, particularly when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues.

I've known Len ever since we both came to uni in 2018, he's been such a good friend since. Being on the committee of the LGBTQ+ network showed me how good of a leader he is and will be if elected. I genuinely think he will affect good change for everyone! Definitely give Len your vote if you want a full time officer who truly cares
