Drawing on our extensive experience and proven record advocating for genuine diversity, equity, and inclusion in the last 5 years on the council, we recognize a troubling trend: the misuse of ‘community’ as a divisive tool rather than a means of unity. We firmly reject practices that exploit the concept of community to further social division or personal agendas. Our vision for SUPRA is one rooted in authentic inclusion, where individual uniqueness is genuinely celebrated and protected. We aim to build a democratic, transparent organization that ensures sincere representation and prioritizes collective interests. Re-elect Meaning Searching and join us in saying No to Dictatorship to champion true inclusion and safeguard democratic governance within our postgraduate community. 

I share a strong passion for student welfares and advocacy. In the past 8 years, I have served as the University Fellow of Senate, SUPRA Educational Officer, USU Board Director/ Honorary Secretary on campus, and actively represented student voices in major Education policy changes and reform to quest for a better student experience, which includes recent Opal concession campaign, end placement poverty, university-wise anti-racism campaign, 5day simple extensions, and working closely with the government to bring back international students due to COVID border closure. If I get reelected, I am committed to advocating more for the community.

I aim to leverage my council expertise, focusing on student welfare, disability inclusion, and enhancing university conditions for students with carer responsibilities. As a HDR student and an experienced council member, I’ve completed two terms as SUPRA’s Disability Officer and have notably initiated and fulfilled the role of the Carer Officer. Seeking re-election, I intend to use my experience to support new council members and continue building a successful, supportive environment for all students. Your vote will help maintain our momentum in making SUPRA more inclusive and beneficial for future generations of postgraduate students.

Hi, I’m Jeremy! I’m a post-graduate student pursuing a Master of Sustainability. I hail from Papua New Guinea (PNG), the land of a thousand tribes! My home country is located just above Australia. Fun fact: Papua New Guinea is the most linguistically diverse nation in the world, with over 800 languages. So, being part of a diverse community like USYD and connecting with people from all walks of life is not a new challenge for me. I look forward to fully engaging with you all as a student leader in Supra.

I’ve held student leadership positions in the past. I was leader of the PNG students at the University of Waikato, New Zealand whilst undertaking my under grad. My highlight was organizing a PNG student cultural performance for the then visiting PM of NZ, Helen Clark. I am passionate about climate change and environmental advocacy. 

I’m a friendly, down to earth kind of a person. I’m easily approachable, with a keen sense of humour. I am a good communicator and have held leadership roles in a professional capacity. I’m keen to support and further enhance the SUPRA offerings to students during my term.

If elected, my promise is to optimize our publicity strategy and therefore enhance the transparency of information, so as to ensure postgraduate students are fully aware of the upcoming events in the first instance and do not miss out on any news. I promise to bring nice, creative and useful free peripheral products through my design work. I also promise to facilitate a smoother communication mechanism, so that everyone’s voice can be heard in time.

If you’re looking forward to a tightly-connected, resource-sharing student community, please support me and let’s drive the change together, thank you!

Dear SUPRA Council,

My name is Jiteng Pan, a Computer Science postgraduate student running for a position in the SUPRA Councilor Committee. My extensive experience includes participating in various charitable projects, interning with foundations, and working with diverse public organizations. I once participated in a charitable initiative helping to promote products for traditional artisans from remote areas, which taught me that many talented individuals remain unseen due to a lack of advantageous exposure. This experience deepened my understanding of the importance of advocacy and equipped me with practical skills in effectively representing and fighting for a community’s interests.

If elected as councilor, I will focus on enhancing the international student experience, advocating for your rights, and fostering unity among our postgraduate community. Additionally, I aim to strengthen the University of Sydney’s influence in new media, helping to create improved career and development opportunities for all postgraduates.

Your voice matters—vote for Jiteng Pan to amplify postgraduate voices, advocate for your rights, and build a vibrant and supportive international student community!

Thank you.

As a Master’s student in Media Practice, I have a strong background in organizing events, planning forums, and news reporting. My experience as an organizer and collaborator has reinforced my commitment to creating spaces where postgraduate students can connect, share, and thrive.

I am dedicated to fostering a more inclusive, equitable, and open university environment. By listening to students’ concerns and advocating for meaningful change, I hope to contribute to a stronger postgraduate community.

Through SUPRA, I aim to ensure that every student’s voice is heard and that our shared university experience is enriched for all.

As a General Councilor of SUPRA, I have participated in and organised a wide range of student activities. Since becoming a SUPRA volunteer, I have been proactive in finding out what students want and helping them. I have organised two student-sharing sessions, and one enterprise-sharing session, participated in student market research activities, and taken part in various SUPRA community activities, such as Free lunch, Wine and cheese, Hiking and so on. Besides that, I also participate in SUPRA meetings, take part in the decision-making of some activities, and learn about the affairs of the university. I have learnt a lot about the needs and difficulties of the students from these activities, and I have gained a lot from being able to serve them, which is what I want to do. I enjoy participating in these events, I will continue to serve students, and I hope that these events will enhance the student experience for postgraduate students at the University of Sydney.

I am nominating myself as a candidate for the 2025–26 SUPRA General Election. I am deeply committed to advocacy, inclusivity, and community engagement. As an International Student Ambassador for the City of Sydney and an Information Assistant at Sydney Airport’s International Students Desk, I have firsthand experience assisting students as they adjust to life in Australia. These volunteer opportunities have given me the chance to collaborate directly with local groups to improve student experiences.

Beyond these positions, my time as a Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Mentor at the University of Sydney has improved my abilities to provide academic and social support to students while also establishing an environment in which everyone feels heard and appreciated. As a volunteer with SUPRA, I have cultivated strong teamwork skills, reinforcing my passion for service-driven initiatives. If elected, I will collaborate with SUPRA to promote student welfare by advocating for expanded financial aid programs, improved mental health resources, and more comprehensive career preparation seminars customized to postgraduate students. In addition, I will work to strengthen communication between students and SUPRA, ensuring that each voice is heard, appreciated, and effectively represented. Together, we can create a more supportive postgraduate community.

I bring experience in campaign management, student advocacy, and leadership. As a former campaign manager, I have successfully led initiatives and engaged diverse student groups. These experiences reinforced my ability in communication and interpersonal skills, time management, and persistence.

With a previous background in psychology, human resources, and social work, I have engaged with a deep understanding of inclusivity, diversity, and equity, and then realized that our students are standing in the disadvantaged group. Thus, I am committed to fostering an inclusive campus, amplifying student voices, and enhancing student services. My strategic planning, communication, and teamwork skills will help drive positive change.

Hi, I’m Yang Yang, a Master’s student in Computer Science. Over the past year, I’ve actively participated in many SUPRA events, where I’ve not only gained valuable experience but also been inspired by the incredible talents and perspectives of fellow students. These experiences have shown me the importance of a strong student community where everyone has the opportunity to shine.

I’m running for SUPRA Councillor because I believe both Master’s and PhD students deserve more opportunities to connect, grow, and be heard.

If elected, I will work to build a more inclusive and engaging community where every student feels empowered and valued. Let’s make SUPRA a place where our voices matter. I’d love your support!

Being a postgraduate student is more than just academics—it’s a journey filled with challenges, sacrifices, and dreams. I understand this because I have lived it. I know what it feels like to juggle coursework, work commitments, and personal struggles while striving for a better future. That’s why I am running—to be a voice for students like us, who deserve more than just policies; we deserve genuine support, fairness, and a community that stands by us.

My experience in leadership and advocacy has shown me that real change happens when we listen, take action, and never stop fighting for what’s right. Whether it’s pushing for better financial support, ensuring international students feel truly at home, or securing stronger mental health services, I am committed to making our voices heard.

This isn’t just an election—it’s about shaping the postgraduate experience we all deserve. I promise to be a representative who listens, who cares, and who delivers. If you’ve ever felt unheard, overlooked, or unsupported, know that I see you. I am here for you.

Vote for change. Vote for a stronger, more supportive community. Vote for me.

As a University of Sydney alumnus now pursuing a Master of International Business, I intimately understand the multifaceted challenges we face—from academic pressures to cultural adaptation, particularly for international students. Running for SUPRA Councillor, I pledge to transform insights into action through three strategic priorities:

1. I will cultivate campus belonging by bridging cultural divides and fostering inclusive connections. Through proactive engagement initiatives, I will foster a more supportive environment where every student feels empowered to thrive both academically and socially.

2. I will strengthen student-faculty collaboration through regular meetings where your perspectives directly shape campus improvements. Simultaneously, I’ll advocate for enhanced access to vital academic resources – from essential textbooks to academic journals – empowering every student with the resources they need to succeed in their postgraduate journey.

3. Recognising that 47% of Australian students seek mental health support, I will champion accessible stress-reduction strategies and culturally responsive counselling systems to ease academic pressure while fostering emotional resilience across our diverse postgraduate community.

Together, let’s create a postgraduate community where every voice is heard.

My name is Heyuan (Edward) Zhang, and I am currently a Master of Economics student at the University of Sydney. I am so exciting and glad to nominate myself for a councillor position at SUPRA for the upcoming term.

I was first drawn to SUPRA by its passion for advocating for postgraduate students’ rights. My journey with SUPRA began in my first semester (2025 S1) when I was inspired by its efforts—particularly the proposal for Opal Card discounts, which aimed to secure fair benefits for international students. Seeing its tangible impact, I eagerly applied to become a volunteer.

Since joining, I have actively contributed to SUPRA events, such as free lunches and workshops, gaining valuable experience and a deeper understanding of student advocacy. Through these experiences, I have come to appreciate SUPRA’s vital role in supporting and empowering postgraduates.

If given the opportunity to serve as a councillor, I will dedicate myself to enhancing the student experience, ensuring that every postgraduate at USyd feels supported, heard, and valued.

I believe that helping others and solving problems are the best ways to achieve personal fulfilment and realize one’s potential. During my undergraduate studies, I actively participated in volunteer activities, accumulating over 400 service hours that significantly improved my communication, problem-solving, and coordination skills. Moreover, my diverse campus and community experiences, including an internship at UNESCO ICHEI where I helped develop an overseas education platform for Shenzhen Open University to expand educational resources for remote regions in Africa, have broadened my perspective. I am confident these experiences will allow me to contribute to SUPRA’s development, and I look forward to collaborating with the team to advance our mission.

My time at USYD and with SUPRA, coordinating events and representing peers have honed my advocacy and Intercultural Competency Skills.

Thus in SUPRA, I’ll collaborate tirelessly to deliver impactful, lasting change, and make your voice heard!

My name is Yanchao (Cole) Wang, A Postgraduate student majoring in Master of professional accounting and business performance and this is my third semester. I am so proud to be a student of USYD and I have been enjoying studying and having fun here. However, I think our university is not doing enough to promote students’ welfare. For example, there is no canteen on campus to provide cheap and diverse food; Our commute to campus is expensive and we do not get the discounts that university students are entitled to; there is too much pressure from the final and we deserve a more comfortable and more rational appraisal mechanism. It has always been my belief that SUPRA is the most important bridge between students and the university and I just have one sample GOAL — Make USYD a better place for us. If I am elected as a SUPRA general councillor, I will dedicate myself to improving student’s well-being and making our voices heard.

I will continually encourage the preservation of inclusivity, diversity, and equity everywhere.

My name is Anzhe (Rafael) Li, I am a current Master of Commerce student at USyd, and I am honoured to nominate myself for a councillor position at SUPRA for the next term. I started volunteering at SUPRA in 2024 and served as a Co-Treasurer later that year.

In the past months, I have successfully organised many SUPRA events, including the signature Wine & Cheese parties and Hiking events, serving to more than 900 students. Currently, I am organising the upcoming Graduation Party in May 2025, which is one of our largest events designed for graduates. In addition to community engagement, I have also been representing for postgraduate students at a university level. One of my top priorities is making sure students’ voice gets delivered to the university management. I am dedicated to enhancing the postgraduate experience, and if elected, I will actively work towards fostering a stronger, more inclusive community.

My name is Xuan Zhang, and I am a Master of Commerce Extension student majoring in Accounting and Economics. I have always been passionate about helping others and being part of our student community. As a volunteer for the Sydney Marathon, I helped with organizing the event, guiding participants, managing storage, and keeping everything running smoothly. I am also a SUPRA volunteer, where I assist in hiking events, help maintain order, and support students in getting more involved in activities. These experiences have helped me understand the needs of students and the importance of a strong, supportive community.

If elected as a Councillor, I will work hard to improve student support services, organize better events, and make communication between postgraduates and SUPRA more effective. I want to make sure students have better access to academic resources, career opportunities, and mental health support. My goal is to create a friendly, inclusive, and well-connected student community where everyone feels welcome and supported.

Your support means a lot! Please vote for me, and let’s make our student life better together.

I‘m Yuhan Huang, a Master of Commerce student. With a passion for supporting the postgraduate community, I successfully organized the Mid-Autumn Festival with my fellow colleagues for Peer Learning Group (PLG), attracting over 100 attendees, and served as a PLG facilitator for QBUS5001 last semester, helping students have better study experience. These experiences have strengthened my leadership, organizational, and communication skills.

If elected, I will actively represent the voices of Business School postgraduate students, strengthen connections between students and industry professionals, and advocate for a more supportive and engaging postgraduate experience. I am committed to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community where every student can thrive.

I am eager to bring my dedication and enthusiasm to this role and make a meaningful impact on our postgraduate journey
