Natasha Cork
Students' Union President 2026/27

I am a 25-year-old student who was born and raised in Stoke, which I am very proud of. Throughout my time at university, I’ve been involved in a range of projects and campaigns focused on student wellbeing, safety, representation, and community engagement.
Some of the initiatives I’ve helped lead include awareness campaigns tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), student engagement projects, and collaborative work with university and community partners to improve the student experience.
