The Students’ Union is run by students for students – that means we’re completely dedicated to representing students at Staffs and helping provide what they want from their student experience. That covers everything from advice and support, great venues and events to representation, sports clubs, activities and even a dedicated student media service.
We’re constantly striving to ensure the best possible experience for all students at Staffs and free membership of the Students’ Union is automatic on enrolling at Staffordshire University. That means our students get to have their say in what we do and how we do it.
Staffordshire University Students’ Union is a democratic organisation, working entirely for the benefit of students.
The Students' Union sponsors and supports a diverse range of student-run groups. These include both competitive and recreational sports groups, special interest groups, academic societies and some that we are unable to categorise!

As it says above, I'm here to make sure that we-your Officer Team-are performing and delivering for all our students to the best of our ability. The President also deals with the overarching finances of the SU, although Emma (your Commercial Services Officer) has a financial focus on our venues, shops and retail. I also chair our SU Committees and oversee our internal staffing.
The President isn't "the Boss", I'm just like the rest of the team. Where my role differs is the leadership remit mentioned above, and also often as the first point of contact for any student, University Staff member or external person to approach, although the whole team are here to help you and answer your questions.
The President also sits on the University's Board of Governors and has regular meetings with our Vice Chancellor, Michael Gunn. This means if you have an issue that needs raising, your Officer Team can take it right to the top!
How can I help you? If you want to find out more about the Union and how it works, have a problem, issue or idea that you want to explore and don't know who to talk to, let me know!
Why do I love Staffs? Because Staffordshire University has changed my life. That sounds as cheesy as you like; but I genuinely believe it. This University and our Students' Union have some of the friendliest and approachable people I've ever met and the diversity our our institution is incredible-I can't think of another place where someone could have so many opportunities to mix with and meet such a variety of people from different cultures and backgrounds.
