Elections 2012

Students' Union Officer Elections are coming up fast!

In Spring 2012 the SU will be holding cross-campus elections for our elected student positions, across a range of different types of posts. Read on for more information about the posts available. Click here for a current timetable of our elections.

Sabbatical Officers (x4)

Sabbatical Officers run your Union. They set the strategic direction of the organisation and represent all 29,000+ students at Greenwich University. They are here to enhance your student experience while studying at university. They are paid, full-time positions that span one academic year. Each role is different, with 4 different portfolios/job descriptions for the different officers, which are as follows:

President
Vice-President Education & Welfare
Vice-President Campaigns & Representation
Vice-President Student Activities

The full job description for each of these roles can be found here (PDF)

Part-time Student Representatives

The part-time Student Representatives represent students alongside the team of full-time Sabbatical Officers. Their terms in office also last one academic year, but though they are not paid they remain a really important part of student democracy at Greenwich. They take on student-led campaigns and help the Sabbatical team run the team. They are a big part of the wider Students' Union family. Please note, to run for this post, you must registered on a course that continues into the 2012-13 academic year or be otherwise committed to register as a University of Greenwich student in 2012-13.

NUS Delegates

NUS Delegates are elected every year to attend NUS National Conference in April of that year. The number of positions available is determined by the number of students studying at Greenwich. NUS National Conference is a great opportunity to take important campaigns and issues that students care about, and take them forward at a national level.

If you would like to know more about any of the above positions then you can contact Mary Mazzilli, Representation Co-ordinator at .

More information about these elections will be published on our website in the new year, so watch this space!
