Events Officer: Kevin McErlean

Hello, my name is Kevin McErlean, I'm 36 and from Northern Ireland. I'm studying Law with the OU.

I'm passionate about community involvement and political activism, with a focus on giving underrepresented voices a platform. I'm an activist for the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, where I am the Chair of the LGBTQIA+ Association.  

Outside of studies and politics, I'm an amateur radio operator (HAM operator) and enjoy nature. And I'm often found with an antenna and radio somewhere in the countryside or mountains. 

As a member of the OU Pride Committee, my main goal is to make sure all LGBTQIA+ students, especially those from rural or isolated communities, feel connected, supported and represented. I want OU Pride to be a safe, welcoming space where everyone's voice matters.
