Hi! I’m Alasdair (he/him) and I’m running for Student Trustee. Standing for Student Trustee is no small task, and it requires two students of impressive experience, diligence to the working of the Students’ Association, and keen listeners to the student body. This, ultimately, is why I am standing. I believe that all students have the right for their voice to be heard by the Students’ Association and the University.
What is a Student Trustee?
As a charity the Students’ Association has a Board of Trustees whose job it is to ensure that the Association acts in the interests of its students when deciding policy, spending money, and ratifying decisions by the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) and other Union bodies.
As Student Trustees it is also our job to ensure that the Board makes decisions which take the student voice to the heart of them. We also guarantee that the Strategic Plan, which is currently being reviewed, is written such that all Students are heard and that this plan benefits the community as a whole.
This year you have a rare choice to make. Which two students both understand the Students’ Association structure and the students themselves to set the bearing that the Strategic Plan takes. Let’s make sure it is written for you.
