Dear {firstname},

It has been a while since I sent you an email, but I appreciate you have been busy with your studies. However, I wanted to highlight what the Union is up to and the events we have before the end of the semester.

We now have eight part-time officers:

Union Chair - Poppie Crompton

Academic Affairs - Josh Rigsby

Environment & Sustainability Officer- Emily Mae Hawkins

LGBTQ+ Officer - Reece Christie

Wellbeing Officer - Shai Hutchinson

REACH Officer - Daniel Johnson

Mature Students Officer - Steven Alexander

Access & Inclusion Officer - Jayden Leaman-Hewitt

As we move forward in the academic year, the Union will be actively seeking your feedback through short questionnaires such as Lecture recordings. Your input is invaluable and will help our Officers implement their manifestos and bring about positive changes that reflect your needs and aspirations.

If you would like to take part in this survey, please click here. On completion you will entered inton a prize draw for a £20 Amazon Voucher. 

Also, if you are interested in expanding your CV, you might want to sit on a validation panel. This is where student contribute their thoughts on validating or re-validating courses that the university offers. To find out more about this opportunity, click here.
