“I have just won the role of Gryphon Editor- which is very exciting. I want to thank myself and all my lovely friends who helped me. I want to thank everyone who campaigned, even if it wasn’t for me. It is very difficult to go out on a limb and put yourself out there. One thing I really want to achieve is to get more funding for the Gryphon Newspaper. I intend to apply for grants to make this happen.”- Gabe.

“I am so happy to have won. I have really enjoyed campaigning and speaking to girls suffering from similar conditions to mine. I have also loved talking to people with similar views and identifying the problems at our University with other students. That has validated what I am doing, in a sense. It means a lot to me that I have won this position. It has a personal feel because the women’s health policies mean a lot to me and my best friends. I aim to help the people in Palestine. The students protesting the University’s complicity resonates with me as the former President of the Palestinian Society. I am also aware that mental health structures are failing, so I want to work with Eden to do something about that. It has been an honour to run against all the candidates and they all had good policies.” -Saffy.
