2025 Student Executive

Kia ora e te whānau,

I’m Liban Ali, your President of VUWSA - Te Aka Tauira for 2025. I’m driven by a deep commitment to creating a student experience that is fair, supportive, and empowering for everyone. My focus is on building engagement, fostering collaboration, and ensuring student voices are front and center in decision-making spaces.

As we navigate the challenges of student life together, I’m determined to advocate for meaningful solutions — from addressing the cost of living to improving campus services and enhancing support for our diverse student community.

This year is about pushing boundaries, challenging the status quo, and making sure every student feels seen, heard, and empowered to succeed. Let’s build something great together.

My name is Ethan Rogacion and I'm incredibly excited to be your Academic Vice-President this year - I'm currently studying a conjoint Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts. As Academic VP, my main responsibility is holding the University accountable, ensuring that all tauira at Victoria University of Wellington receive a world-class education. This year, my key focuses are improving student representation, streamlining the academic complaints process, and empowering our awesome rep groups to better serve our diverse community of learners. If you have concerns, questions or complaints on faculty issues, student representation or anything else academic, please get in touch!

Kia ora! My name is Josh Robinson and I have the honour of being your Welfare Vice-President for 2025! I'm currently studying a conjoint Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts. As Welfare Vice-President, I'm in charge of ensuring students are getting the services they deserve at Te Herenga Waka. My mission is to ensure all tauira are able to succeed - no matter how much you're paying for your sh*tty flat, whether or not your winter energy bills are crippling, or how much the Metlink processing fee is. My goal this year is to advocate for renters rights, fairer course refund periods, and against student poverty more broadly. If you have any welfare related issues or even if you just want to come into the office for a yarn - feel free to get in touch!

Kia ora, my name is Aspen and I’m your Equity officer for 2025!!! I’m studying for a BA majoring in Theatre and minoring in Media. As your Equity officer, it is my role at VUWSA to ensure that all students at Te Herenga Waka are given equal access to the support and services that they require for a fulfilling time at university. I plan to work closely with the Rep groups and students to implement and maintain the improvements and initiatives that are required to make our university a more equitable and inclusive space. My goals for my time as Equity at VUWSA include improving accessibility to tools, resources and services that help students with study, renting and general uni life, fighting for equitable treatment of all people and generally improving student life on and off campus.
