Societies, Volunteering and Student Media Executive Committee
We want all members of the Students’ Union to be able to get involved and shape the work that we do. One of the ways you can get involved is through the elected officers' executive committees or networks.
Each Sabbatical Officer has an executive committee which is designed to shape and support their work. This could include supporting them in the development of policy, running outreach activity, or simply putting on events and activities students want to see.
The Societies, Volunteering and Student Media Executive Committee has 30 members, 18 directly elected through a cross-campus ballot and 12 selected by a panel including the Vice President Societies and Volunteering. 4 of these selected members will represent Student Media, 4 will represent Volunteering, and 4 will represent Societies. All members of the Societies, Volunteering and Student Media Executive Committee must be members of the Guild of Societies, engaged in a volunteering project or a member of Student Media.
