Anthony Bolchover, University of Birmingham

I’m Anthony Bolchover, a 3rd year Mathematics student at the University of Birmingham. I have always been a passionate advocate for Jewish students. This has manifested through my current role as a CAMERA on Campus Fellow, and as the Chair of the Birmingham Israel Society, a student-led initiative dedicated to educating the wider population around the modern Jewish state. Outside of Birmingham, I am a delegate for UJS on the Board of Deputies of British Jews. My communal work has been recognised by the Jewish News, in which I featured in their ’25 under 25’ list of young Jewish leaders.

Nina Freedman, University of Bristol

Hi, I’m Nina, a third-year student at the University of Bristol! Previously, I was JSoc President and I now represent UJS on the Board of Deputies. Since the pandemic hit, it has been impossible for JSocs and UJS to function normally. We need to make an extra effort, now more than ever, to keep our students connected to both their Jewish community and wider student body. As your UJS President, I would work hard to reconnect you to the things you might have lost and to keep our union engaging, intersectional and representative.

Miles Stewart-Compton, University of Southampton

I’m Miles Stewart-Compton, a 3rd year Politics and Philosophy student at Southampton University. I was the J-Soc’s President last year, it’s Vice-President this year and I will be running to be your UJS President. 

2020 has been a year of challenge, history and division. However, as we are all so aware, the Jewish people have come to master resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity and hardship. It is clear we need to move forward and push through this period and the way to do this is through structural change and development for all J-Socs and all Jewish students.
