Dear Student, It’s great that you’ve chosen to have a closer look at the elections material. I’d say, if you’ve got this far, why not take a step further? Being an active part of Newman Students’ Union is something that all students at Newman have the experience of at one time or another. Being involved in the central working of the Union can be an exciting, challenging and rewarding experience. If you decide to run in these elections you will be a part of something that can have a massive, direct impact on the lives of potentially thousands of people not just at Newman but around the country and the world. If you would like any more information about the roles feel free to send me an email on supresident@newman.ac.uk. I wish you all the best of luck should you decide to run. For those who are lucky enough to be successfully elected I leave you with this thought: never lose sight of what you’re here for. All the best, Josh Clare
NSU President 2011-12
