One more thing...
There’s one more way to shape the future of your Students’ Union.
As part of our ongoing Democracy Review, we’re proposing changes to the Student Officer team structure from 2027/28 onwards and your voice is essential in deciding what comes next.
We want to create an Officer team that is focused, effective and fully equipped to represent you. That means streamlining roles so Officers can spend less time tied up in admin and routine tasks, and more time championing your ideas, leading change on campus and advocating for students beyond it. It also means making sure they have the right support behind the scenes to turn priorities into action.
Working alongside students at Student Council, we have developed two clear options for what this future structure could look like. Now it is over to you.
Take a moment to explore the options below and cast your vote. This is your opportunity to shape how student leadership works and how your voice is represented for years to come.
