MP signs Union letter to Home Office in appeal over student’s Visa issue
VP Communities, Emily Harrison has met with Alan Whitehead, MP for Southampton Test, to discuss support for one of our students who is facing ‘significant Visa issues’.
Together with the University’s Vice President International, Emily is sending a letter to the Home Office to appeal on behalf of the student.
“The student first came to me a couple of weeks ago and I am delighted to have received such positive support from everyone I have reached out to in dealing with this case, including from Alan and the University,” says Emily.
“Things like this are exactly why I ran to be in this job because I believe representing and advocating for students is so important. It is a privilege to be able to use my voice in this role to support students”.
