The Union elections are an amazing opportunity to use your voice and enact change within the Union and the University, so I wanted to share my top 5 reasons for why YOU should nominate yourself in the current Union elections.

  1. Student Voice: Amplify student voices locally, regionally, and nationally. Representing the Union and University. 
  2. Advocate for Student Rights: Campaign for student needs and lobby the university/interest groups and the Government on key issues.
  3. Visible Representation: Not only do you get to work from lots of different campuses meeting thousands of students across some of the most beautiful areas in the region, you get to be a physical representative to students at university and college meetings, ensuring their concerns are heard.
  4. Community Connections: Engage students with local projects, fostering a sense of community & belonging.
  5. Champion Inclusion: Lead diversity efforts and celebrate our diverse student body through campaigns and events.
