Nik Ramsay-Trease
HE Student Governor
My name is Nik Ramsay-Trease and I’m currently studying for a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling. I have an academic background in Psychology & Neuroscience and throughout my career have had experience of Senior leadership roles in the IT industry. I believe in fostering a growth mindset and champion learning and development in higher education. I’m delighted to have been offered the opportunity to volunteer as a Student Governor representing HE this year and I am so excited to learn with and from my fellow students over the course of my appointment.
I believe it indispensable that we should all feel safe, valued, empowered, and respected in our place of study, and my hope is that I may be able to use this post to advocate alongside my fellow students as you pursue the aims that matter to you.
My main reason for joining the governing board was because of how much I have enjoyed my time at Bicton, and I feel very strongly that all students, regardless of course or college, should love what they study. The colleges’ ethos of setting students up for success in the real world is something I really admire, and something I want to be a part of as much as possible. I can only hope I do my peers across colleges proud, and make them feel like their voices are being heard and represented.
