/upsunion

University of Plymouth Students’ Union (UPSU) is an independent registered charity that seeks to represent all the students of Plymouth University. UPSU is separate from the University as an independently run, student-led organisation.

We facilitate student representation at all levels, host the sports clubs and societies, manage campus sport facilities and provide volunteering opportunities, independent advice, entertainment, shop, accommodation, catering and bars.

The work we do is governed by a constitution and led by 5 elected student officers (‘Executive Officers’). The Union is a charity and therefore these 5 elected officers, along with 2 further students and 3 external advisors, make up the board of trustees. Our charity status also means that we do not make a profit – all money taken through our bar, shop and entertainment services are invested right back into UPSU to provide our members with better services.

Education is one thing we all have in common at University and it’s vital we can make the most of it. Education should be fun, informed and available and I’m here to make sure you get everything you need from your education! I love a good chat, especially hearing what you want to say – so make sure you come and say hi.

As President I am responsible for leading the Executive Officer team and supporting student campaigns and projects that affect issues important to you. I will represent you locally, nationally and across the University to ensure that your voice is at the forefront of every decision making process and everything that the SU and the University do, so that you have the best time as a Plymouth Uni student!

:your exec team

Your Executive Officers represent and work for Plymouth University students. They make sure students’ voice is heard when decisions are made that affect them and raise issues and run campaigns on students’ behalf. Your Exec shape the SU the way students want it to be run to suit your needs.

The Union’s full-time officers are elected by students in a campus-wide election. Candidates have to be students at the time of the election, run a campaign and be successfully elected to take on the role. They are paid full-time jobs with a term of one academic year. All the Executive Officers are Trustees of the Union. With the Board of Trustees they have ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of the Union and are responsible for the Union’s management, administration, governance (how the Union is structured), budget and strategy.

I’m responsible for representing students on welfare issues which varies from finances to safety and health to accommodation. My aims are to make sure that your voice and feedback is heard, not only by the University but in the city too. To help build a student community and champion diversity. To empower and equip you with the information you need so you don’t get ripped off by rouge landlords.

My role is mainly to come up with ideas to improve societies and sports and to implement any changes that students want and need. I am also a trustee of UPSU so oversee everything that happens within the Union. I am your voice, so anything that you think needs improving in the Students’ Union or the University then let me know!

I’m here to represent all the international students, and students who study at our Partner institutions. This year I’m trying to promote cultural diversity at the University and encouraging both Partner Institution and international students to become more involved with UPSU. If you see me around, come say hi!
