Welcome / Fáilte Hi all, my name is Clodagh McGivern and I’m your Vice President/Education Officer for 2021/2022. Congratulations on becoming a class rep and the spokesperson for your class. I’m delighted you’ve put yourself forward and I’m very excited to work with you this year. As a rep you have many roles, whether that is being the spokesperson for your class, working with academics as well as, working with the SU. You are the link between the union and the students and that is why your voice is so important to us. Your other role within the union, is holding the exec team accountable and mandating us to do what you feel is best for your student experience. We can’t meet every student and you are best placed to give us an accurate reflection on what the students want but more importantly need. Of course, there is something in it for you: • You get your class rep training as well as other training throughout the year. • You gain experience and skills to enhance your CV • Get a free Class Rep hoodie. • Alive Cert This year more than ever, we really appreciate your time and input. Each of your unique viewpoints help us to get the most accurate view of how students are feeling. I hope to be able to give back as much as I am getting so if you need anything, don’t hesitate to get in contact. I look forward to seeing you at our SU councils, College Councils and whatever other events you may be at and I’m excited to work with you and see how we can improve the student experience in a year where the student experience is limited.
