STUDENT OFFICER, Liv Wrightson

Student Officers have no pre-defined portfolio, but together with the rest of the elected executive committee, will discuss and propose areas of work for the Union, ensuring that all students are represented. Alongside representing student views generally, Student Officer's chosen areas of work will be defined via their manifesto promises.

You can contact student officers to give voice to feedback about any area of your student experience, to ask questions about any area of the Union's work or to provide information that you feel will allow the Union to provide for student need.

Manifesto areas of interest:  Bar & Events | Volunteering & Community Action | Education | Student Wellbeing

MORE ABOUT Liv:

What did you study?

I'm currently studying Law; I'm in my third (and final) year!

 

What made you run in the Elections to become an officer?

I loved being a Student Officer last year, I knew I’d miss it too much if I didn’t re-run! Having the privilege of voicing students’ concerns and seeing real change come from it makes it so rewarding. 

 

 

What SU-run events and activities have you been a part of?

I've been part of so many! I helped during Freshers 24/25 and One Winchester, and I'm currently the Chair of both the Commuting Students Network and Access. I’ve also supported Speak Week, ran a stand for Developmental Disability Awareness Month, and I regularly attend SU events as a student, I love getting involved in everything the SU puts on!

 

 

What are your top Manifesto points?

My top manifestos points for this year are Night-time safety, SU presence across campus, Wellbeing support, Enhancing campus facilities, and Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI).

 

 

What’s your favourite thing about Winchester?

The sights! I’m fortunate enough to have been born in Winchester, so I’ve always had it on my doorstep. I love the beautiful views, especially the Cathedral and the walk up by the River Itchen, there’s just something peaceful and grounding about it.

 

 

What has been your proudest moment during your student journey (so far)?

Honestly, everything! I’ve managed to stay actively involved while keeping on top of my studies, and I’m so proud of that balance. But one of my standout moments was winning Network of the Year for the Commuting Students Network, as well as being awarded Network Champion of the Year and EDI Champion. It was such an honour to receive those awards, and I’m incredibly thankful and proud.

 

 

What do you like doing when you aren’t being a Winchester SU Officer?

I crochet and read in my spare time, though, with all the roles I carry, I’m usually busy fulfilling one of them even when I’m not acting in my SU Officer capacity!

 

 

What’s your favourite film?

I don’t have one all-time favourite, but my current ones are The Sound of Music and Mamma Mia! Both classics that always lifts my spirits.
