Brighton Students’ Union is a democratic organisation run to further the interests of Brighton University students. Every year all students are asked to elect those students they want to see running the Union. The Spring General Election selects the full time sabbatical officers of the Union as well as some of the part time positions. These elected officers are responsible for addressing the issues that affect students and being the formal link between students, the Union and the University.
Over the past year we have been looking at the way the Union works and what we need to do to continue to meet the needs of students into the 21st Century. This election is the first with the new officer roles and is a major step towards bringing to life a new way of working, listening, and winning for students.
Only by having representatives from all areas of the University can we ensure that Brighton SU works in a way that does this, and further protects the rights and extends the opportunities available to all students.
All candidates are listed below.
