Assembly Priorities 24/25
 

In April 2024, the Assembly voted on four main priorities for the 2024/25 elections: Student Communities and Events, Education and Academia, Careers and Employability, and Cost of Living. Over the summer, feedback was collected from Assembly members via a survey. Additional feedback was gathered during the October 2024 Assembly meeting, where members also ranked the priorities. This formed our 4 main priorities which your officers are working to achieve during this academic year.

Below our our four priorities for this year and the three goals. If you would like to be part of this work please take a look at our page on subcommittes here. These committees are open to both Assembly Members and members of the Student Body and we would love for you to be involved!
