With the nominations for the 2024/25 Students’ Union Elections now open, VP Communities, VP Education, and the Sports and Union Presidents are stepping into their last six months as Sabbatical Officers. What will they be focusing on?
VP Communities, Zoe Crosher, is planning to improve society committee guidelines and resources and continue pushing for more support for student parents.
VP Education, Katie Gethings, said: “I plan to focus on developing Academic Rep support and engagement. I want to build on changes made last semester to make the training more engaging and provide opportunities for development and interaction throughout the semester for all the Reps.”
Leen Ali, the Union President, has goals centred around two main areas: inclusivity and wellbeing.
“I’ll be continuing to support international students and celebrating diversity,” she said.
The Sports President, Murray Bushell, noted that this semester will see the launch of their new club mark system, known as the StirScale:
“This aims to push clubs to continue their development and grow the Sports Union as a whole.”
Moreover, the Sports Union will also see the conclusion of BUCS leagues and conference cups. Bushell looks forward to working with the university to promote successful clubs and achievements throughout the year.
Together, the Sabbatical Officers “are dedicated to working to celebrate student achievement and engagement through sports, societies, academics and activism.”
The voting for the upcoming Spring Elections will run between Tuesday, February 27, and Thursday, February 29. The results will be announced on March 1.
