Volunteer School Officer Roles
School Officers
bridge the gap
between
divisional reps
and the
Sabbatical Officers
.
School Officers
gather information
from divisional reps, sit on
School Boards
, and
keep students informed
, and work with the Students' Union to
improve life
for UWS students within their schools.
There are
two school officers per school
at UWS, and this is a role you can
complete during your studies
to gain experience and skills, and an insight into how the university works!
This role is
open to those on taught programmes
, and there is a seperate opportunity for research students.
Union Chair Role
The Union Chair is a very important role within the Students' Union.
The Union Chair is elected to hold the Sabbatical Officers to account and is the chair of Student Council.
This means chairing meetings that could have over 100 student reps in attendance and ensuring fair debating and voting on Student Union policy.
