What’s it all about?
In March 2015, BCUSU held Leadership Elections to decide who will run your Students’ Union during the academic year 2015/16.
The SU Officer Team is made up of students or recent graduates elected by the student body to lead your Students’ Union: they are the voice of students and represent your views.
A record-breaking 4,434 students voted and our candidates received 24,767 votes between them. The successful candidates will start their positions in July 2015, so keep a look out for news of which of their election goals they will put into place, first!
