The New Elected Student Representatives of Our University
Introduction
In this King's Buildings Sentinel article, we explore some of the new elected student representatives of our university and their newsletters.
Who Are We Featuring?
Akrit Ghimire
Akrit Ghimire is currently a second-year BSc Artificial Intelligence student and the current Informatics Undergraduate School Representative. He loves to create things such as robots, websites, graphics designs, and origami.
He runs a newsletter called "Hot Goss from the Inf Rep" which focuses on interesting topics in Informatics and Edinburgh. He was inspired by Dylan Walch, our current Vice President Education of the Students' Association. As of today, his newsletter sits on 2 editions, however I believe he will write more editions.

Dora Herndon
Dora Herndon is a MA Philosophy and Politics graduate and the current President of the Students' Association. She was an Advice Place Volunteer from October 2023 to May 2024 where she acted as a receptionist, answered phone calls, set appointments, greeted and assessed those entering the office, and answered simple queries. That role led her to stand for the Presidency as she was noticing that students had issues such as housing which the Students' Association could resolve through campaigning and collaboration with key stakeholders.
She does not have a LinkedIn Newsletter, probably because she is not aware of the feature. Besides that point, she has published 12 posts recapping her work as a Sabbatical Officer weekly since Friday, 14 June 2024. However due to her busy life, she has not published a recap post after the 21st September 2024.

Dylan Walch
Dylan Walch is a MA Business with Decision Analytics graduate and the current Vice President Education of the Students' Association. He was last year's Business Undergraduate School Representative. In terms of his win in the EUSA March 2024 Elections, he cited the previous VP Education, Carl Harper, as a major inspiration for his run and hope to continue the work they set out.
He runs a newsletter called "VP Education Updates", intended to be a weekly update on his work as Vice President Education at Edinburgh University Students Association. He started on Friday, 30 August 2024 and so far he has published 5 editions.
