From Your Officer

Carys Dukes

I fod mewn gweithle, i godi ymwybyddiaeth am Gymreigid, yn fraint dwi'n gwerthfawrogi. Gyda'n gilydd, credaf gallwn feithrin gwerthfawrogiad o ein treftadaeth ieithyddol gyfoethog, ein traddodiadau bywiog a'i hanes cyfareddol. Yn fy amser o fewn yr undeb, rwyf eisiau croesawu pawb i barchu a mwynhau beth mae'n golygu i fod yn Gymraeg, wrth astudio yn Brifysgol Abertawe. Gadewch i ni gychwyn ar yr ymdrech foddhaus hon, gan ysbrydoli cariad at Gymru i hamryfal agweddau, wrth greu amgylchedd sy'n meithrin dysgu gydol oes a thwf personol ar gyfer y boblogaeth myfyrwyr.

To be in a role, which I can spread awareness for everything Welsh, is an honour.Together, we can foster a vibrant Welsh community by fostering an appreciation for its rich linguistic heritage, vibrant traditions, and captivating history. For my time in our union,I want to welcome everyone to into the joys of what it means to be Welsh, while studying at Swansea University. This endeavour, not only will inspire a love for Wales but the oppurtunity to create an enviornment that nurtures lifelong learning and personal growth for the student population.
