DEMOCRACY IN ACTION AT UWESU
SHAPING YOUR UNION A core principle of UWESU is that it is run for students by students. This is not only achieved by electing five students as full-time presidents of UWESU, but by you getting involved in opportunities and making your voice heard. The Annual General Meeting in November is open to all UWE students to attend and vote on important issues. You can also get involved in one of the four committee meetings, which come together throughout the year to hear your views.
ELECTIONS Members of the Students’ Union annually elect an executive to represent the views of UWE students locally and nationally. The executive is made up of 5 full time positions and 10 voluntary positions. The executive influence the direction of your Students’ Union and university and is a great way to become involved in decisions that impact on your student experience.
