Eva Stewart (She/Her)

Hello! I’m Eva, and I’d love to represent you as a member of the Arc Board in 2024. I’m a second year Commerce / Law student from Sydney. UNSW is such a special place I’ve been fortunate enough to call home for the past two years, living at Phillip Baxter College. As a member of Baxter’s House Committee as Social Director this year, I have gained extensive experience and insight into how important and rewarding bringing people together is. My vision to improve student life at UNSW is to:
1) Enable students to interact with the broader university community to find their friends for life.
2) Create communities for rural, inter-state, international and gender diverse students to feel more supported and at home at UNSW.
3) Make the vast Arc resources more accessible to all students be that clubs, sports, legal advocacy and more.

Aania Cheema (She/Her)

Hi, my name is Aania and I am a second-year psychology student. As the current secretary of Philip Baxter College, a residential college here at UNSW, I have experience working in roles representing a student body and communicating with the university. I am a proud Pakistani Muslim woman and know how important it is to have everyone's voices heard equally. I want to help ARC continue to listen to student voices and work to facilitate change where it is needed. When elected, I will make sure all voices are heard and acted on whether you live on or off campus. I aim to bring a different perspective to ARC and vouch for student’s needs throughout the university.

Amy Wang (She/Her)

Hi, I'm Amy. As someone who have actively participated in various societies over the past two years, I understand the exact plight of societies who have their great ideas trashed - Arc grant. With the cap set at 35% for general Arc grant and an intolerable duration between application to approval, any event incurring costs becomes hugely troublesome – this discourages event organisers and causing the greater student community to miss out. If elected, I will be working closely with Arc to develop a more efficient, elastic, and equitable funding framework to resolve this long-lasting pain - a framework that enables a HIGHER reimbursement proportion, a LARGER funding pool and a SHORTER processing time between application and approval.
Vote for me, so your society can have the funding to actualise its imagination and flourish student life. Together, we’ll nurture a greater UNSW community where dreams become actions.  

Sam Baker (He/Him)

Hi, I’m Sam! I am a second year Commerce/Law student, and I’m currently the Treasurer at Philip Baxter College, one of the residential colleges at UNSW. Living on campus, I understand the crucial role Arc plays in making UNSW such a vibrant and exciting place to be. I have experience working with University management on student experience initiatives, such as the organisation of the college O-Week program to welcome new students to Sydney, and I would love to continue to foster a strong relationship between Arc and the University. I am particularly passionate about the impact Clubs have on student life, and hope to help Arc continue to empower student groups. Importantly, I will be a voice for all students, ensuring that Arc continues to provide vital student support and wellbeing services, so that everyone can have a great time on campus.
