As your elected Officer Trustee I'm always happy to talk to students and help out where I can.
Hi, I'm Holly Lloyd, Your VP (Education). Here's a little about myself - I'm from North Wales and came to Derby to study a Creative Expressive Arts course. I'm a major cat lover but unfortunately find myself allergic With my creative background I aim to make your interactions with the Student Union a more fun and interactive experience. Be sure to keep an eye out for me in and around our many campuses and feel free to come into the office for a chat.
I aim to encourage and create more engagement with the Union, ensure that students feel represented and seen with more Union representation and presence at other campuses, and to secure better funding and support for field work and placement studies.
