SRC Spotlights: Kelsey Moleu, Diversity Affairs Representative

SRC SPOTLIGHT | AROHA / LOVE

Written by Kelsey Moleu | Diversity Affairs Representative

Kia ora! My name is Kelsey Moleu, and I am the Diversity Affairs Representative for AUTSA’s Student Representative Council (SRC). In this role, I advocate for the voice of all students, and I am passionate about providing as much love, kindness and support as possible into the community. My role entails meeting with students and providing the information, resources, and support that AUTSA has to offer. 

All my projects are based on diversity and inclusion. Most students share their concerns about situations where they felt like there was a lack of inclusion, or felt they weren’t able to speak up. I offer support by informing students of the help within our community that’s available to them, and assist them through the process of reaching out. It’s so rewarding to see how the students and the community can flourish once having access to these resources. I also address these concerns by encouraging diversity and inclusion practices and an ethical culture within the community. 

I love giving back to AUT students, and ensuring that they are seen, especially the minority communities within our university. I am currently collaborating with some of the other SRC members to bring some exciting projects to life, so students can feel a sense of belonging. If there is something you would like to see happen, you can reach me by emailing diversity.rep@autsa.org.nz with any feedback, concerns, or collaboration ideas. 

Love knows no bounds. It is a part of our identity, how we experience life, and a source of our beliefs. Regardless of diverse backgrounds, we all need a sense of warmth within us to enrich our everyday life, whether it be through support, guidance, a feeling, sexual orientation, or religious practices. Diversity and love intersect, so regardless of your version of love, we are here to guide all students with aroha through their experience here at AUT.
