We have already received expressions of interest for some of the vacant positions. These will be a priority for our new SU Exec Committee to consider, as well as further discussion to decide how any remaining positions that are currently vacant will be filled.
Since the beginning of term, there have also been submissions for new societies and clubs. These applications will also be put forward to the new committee at the earliest opportunity to be processed. Officers will be contacted shortly to arrange the first meeting of the year.
We are looking forward to an exciting programme of events and campaigns coming shortly that build on the success of last year’s committee who supported planned events for Young Carers Week, The Loud Festival, Festival of Wellbeing as well as championing Pride Month and VE Day. The union also worked alongside NUS Wales to endorse issues important to the wider student community by authoring an amendment to challenge the government around student finance (EMA increase) and cost of living measures.
Well done to all our candidates and for those who took the time to cast their vote. I’m very excited to be working with them over the next year.
Thank you.
