Earlier this month, we had our first Senate meeting of the academic year.  One of the main purposes of the Senate is to hold the Sabbatical Officers to account. At each of the meeting, our officers give an update on their plan and students can ask questions about progress.

In order to make the work of the Students’ Union more transparent to students, your Full-Time Sabbatical Officers will be taking over the Students’ Union Snapchat account tomorrow.

Students often don’t see the work that the Officers do day-to-day to improve student life until now!
