Congratulations to all candidates who ran for positions this year; it was great to see candidates applying from all courses. I am also delighted to announce that the 2022/23 SU Team will be the first to have officers in positions from Music (WBP, Strings), Research, Production Arts and Drama, which is incredible. I can’t wait to see the union go from strength to strength next year under this new team, and once again would like to congratulate all candidates on a fantastic election this year! 

This year, the new team will take office on the 1st of August, including a short handover period for all new officers to ensure a smooth transition between SU teams. 

I hope you all have a lovely week and thank you to all that voted in this year’s election! 

All the very best,

Harry Plant 

Elections Officer/ SU President 2020-22
