President (Student Enagagement) - Elodie Hynd

Presidents (also known as Officer Trustees) are full-time, and are also paid staff positions of the Union. In addition, these full-time officer posts are also Trustees/Directors of the Union, which means they are, alongside the other Trustees/Directors, collectively legally responsible for all of our activities, and make decisions about long term strategy. These are only suitable for students who are graduating at the end of this academic year (or are prepared to take a full year out of their studies as a "sabbatical year").

  • Communities and Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) 
  • Wellbeing 
  • Extra-curricular Activities 
  • Campaigns, Communications & Celebrating Success 
  • Chairing the Union’s Executive Committee 
  • Being a Trustee/Director of the Union
