FULL-TIME OFFICER UPDATES Since they came into office in June, your Full Time Officers have been working hard to improve the experience of every student here at Bournemouth University.

S

ince coming into the role Chloe Schendel-Wilson, SUBU President, has helped the clubs and societies of BU expand. She organised a ‘Lets Go’ Fair, a week allowing the societies to showcase themselves and recruit new members. In addition to this she has been working closely with the Green Task Force to ensure SUBU become more environmental in their work.

During the first term, Ellie Mayo Ward, your VP Education, has assisted in the training of course reps. She also organised Speak Week, a week of events finding out what you the students think of how the University is run. Reece Pope, VP Welfare, signed a ‘Time to Change’ pledge in October. This shows SUBU and BU won’t discriminate against anyone who may have a mental health

issue. He has also been working hard to improve the bus services, as well as implementing the ‘safe space policy’.

Finally at the Lansdowne Campus Peter Briant has helped improve the representation of Lansdowne Students.

He has increased the number of Lansdowne students taking part in volunteering opportunities, and ensured placement support is on offer for HSC students.

This is just some of the great work our Full Time Officers have done so far this year.

You can get in touch with the Full-Time Officers on Twitter: @SubuPresident, @SubuEducation, @SUBULansdowne, @SUBUWelfare, Or come up and see them in the SUBU Office.
