Anna Fedotova has been elected as the Students’ Union International and Community Officer, after the first round of voting.
A 3rd year Civil and Structural Engineering student from Latvia, Fedotova will take over from current international officer Taylor Ogle when her term ends in June.
Speaking on the night, Fedotova said: “Thank you to all the candidates for your support, thank you to everyone who voted for me, and thank you to my family who are watching this livestream now, miles away”
Fedotova beat Jacob Deng by over 800 votes after the first round of voting. Deng and Fedotova were the only candidates for the role remaining following the disqualification of candidate Melody Guo for breaching SU electoral rules.
Fedotova’s manifesto focused on easing the move to Sheffield for international students, boosting access to scholarships for international students, and collaborating with the SU and local communities to showcase international students’ cultural backgrounds.
