Hello! Welcome to your new Student Officer team
The day has come! Your new Student Officer team have officially taken over the reins as leaders of the Guild and will be helping to make sure you have the best student experience possible over the academic year ahead.
After saying a fond farewell to Sean (former President) Ananda (former Deputy President) and Oba (former Vice President), the lovely Hannah (Deputy President) Esther (Vice President) and Jonathon (Vice President) now join Rory who will head up the team until July 2019. You’ve got a whole year to get to know this four, but we’ve pulled out some all-important need-to-know asks as they start their journey with us:

Getting to know each other and learning the ropes is first on the agenda for the new team, followed by making sure we run a first class Welcome Week in September. Then it’s full steam ahead with more projects and campaigns than you can shake a stick at – follow what they get up to throughout the year here and by visiting our social channels.
Best of luck, team!
