STUDENT GROUP ELECTIONS
A massive congratulations to everyone who has successfully been elected - and for those who were unsuccessful this time around, don't be too disheartened! Running in any kind of election is a daunting experience and something you should be proud of yourself for doing, no matter what the result was. The process will give you invaluable experiences that you can use in a CV or job interview. A lot of our groups also don’t fill all the committee positions that went out, and these will need to be filled, and there's always next year’s elections so there are still plenty more opportunities for you to get involved!
If your group has unfilled committee positions, try not to worry! You can view the unfilled positions below and the Student Opportunities team will reach out soon to discuss the next steps.
Check out the Results!
Unfilled Positions
COMMUNITY OFFICERS
Over the last three days, voting has also been open to elect Community Officers for the 2025/26 academic year.
There are 7 elected Community Officers for the 2025/26 academic year. The PGR Students Community Officer, Parent & Carer and Mature Students Community Officer remain unfilled due to a lack of nominations. If you are from one of these Communities and want to get involved, please email the Student Voice Team at Voice@su.rhul.ac.uk
Communities lead from the front, oversee any campaigns and activities taking place and ensure underrepresented students get their voices heard on campus and beyond. Communities are completely free to join. Visit our Communities webpage to meet the current Community Officers and then hit the 'Join the Community' button to be kept up to date with news and events.

SOCIETIES, SPORTS & OPPORTUNITIES EXECUTIVE
Student group members have also had the opportunity to elect members of the Societies, Sports and Opportunities (SSO) Executive.
SSO is led by your VP Societies and Sport and is made up of 10 elected students. They work together to advise the officer group and other Executives on issues relating to the success of student groups. The Executive also holds the VP Societies and Sport accountable for their work, providing support and acting as a friend throughout the year.

SCHOOL REPS
And finally, undergraduate students from the School of Law and Social Sciences and Humanities have been voting for who they want to see as their new School Rep for the next academic year.
The elected School Reps will represent your academic interests and ensure LSS and Humanities students have their voices represented at meetings such as Education Executive and the School Education Committee. They work closely
with academic reps and staff in their School and meet regularly with the VP Education to report on feedback and take forward actions.

I have been elected, what are the next steps?
Firstly, well done! All newly elected Student Leaders will receive an email with more specific information, so keep an eye on your inbox for that. The most important step though is all Student Leaders must attend the Student Leader Conference taking place on Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 June 2025. The Student Leader Conference is compulsory for all Student Leaders as it provides fundamental training for all roles. We have a whole range of sessions including networking opportunities, intro to EDI, campaigning, risk assessment training for all student leaders as well as role specific sessions including student group essentials, academic rep and community officer inductions and loads more!
Student Leader conference is taking place Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 June 2025 across Horton and Bourne. You can find out more information on the Student Leader Conference webpage or email Voice@su.rhul.ac.uk
