YOUR STUDENT COUNCILS Meet the successful candidates from the 2014/15 Student Council Elections...

F

ollowing a hard fought week of voting and campaigning, we are delighted to finally reveal the Part-Time Officers who will be representing you in all aspects of life at BU. Over sixty students ran in the Part Time Officer Elections, all competing for a place on the Student Council of 2014/15.

Coordinator Sophie Bradfield played a key role in the organisation of the election and was delighted with how the week had gone.

"The elections were awesome. I’m really proud of all the candidates and all their amazing campaigns, we all had loads of fun."

The council is split in to four different sections; the Activities Council, Education Council, Lansdowne Council, and the Welfare Council.

First up for the elected officers is an extensive weekend of training, ensuring they are able to deliver on their responsibility of helping SUBU make a positive impact on every student’s journey.

Those elected will have a huge say in the way in which the Students’ Union is run, as well as regularly feeding back their findings to the relevant Full-Time officer.
