This may come as a shock to you all, however, I have taken the decision to resign from Union Council and Postgraduate Committee Chair. I have included most of my resignation e-mail below. All the remains for me to say is “So long, and thanks for all the… memories??”

Lately, I have been suffering from high levels of stress due to my workload increasing and I have been advised that my general heath will degrade if I push myself any further. Therefore, after a lot of consideration, I have come to the decision to resign from my positions in the Union, including Council and Postgraduate Committee Chair, with immediate effect. I shall remain on the University’s VLE steering group committee as it is only once every two months or so, until the end of the year, I will talk to Richard about that separately.

To clarify, there is no other reason for my resignation other than stress and health issues, and my PhD is more important to me than Union politics, as much as I have enjoyed it, now is the time for me to move on. Please do not ask me to reverse my decision. If a reason is asked for by anyone else, it is due to medical reasons.

I wish you all the best for the rest of the year. Sorry I’ve had to leave now.

Thanks to you all who have made it what it is. See you all around.
