About Me

Hi! I’m Nathan, your Vice President Societies & Sport for 2026/27.

I’m a first-year Computer Science student and over the last few years, I’ve thrown myself into student life. I was President of the Boxing Club in 2025/26, took on several other roles across the Students’ Union, and was honoured to receive a Crest Award and Half Colours.

University isn’t just about lectures—it’s about the people you meet, the clubs you join, and the memories you make. Those things shouldn’t have to compete with your degree; they should be part of it.

This year, I’ll be championing two priorities:

  • Increase the number of daytime events.
  • Push for more student-friendly timetables.

I’ll be listening to your ideas, working with clubs, societies, and the University, and keeping you updated on the progress we make together.

If you have any questions, suggestions or, just want to chat, drop me an email at vpsocsport@su.rhul.ac.uk or message me on Instagram, @rhsusocsport

This will the best year for Societies and Sports!

The Role

The VP Societies & Sport has joint overall responsibility for developing the support the Students' Union offers to student groups on campus.

They work closely with the University's Active Lifestyle & Sport department to build relationships that aid the development of sporting activity on campus. This can include lobbying for improved facilities, high quality equipment and ensuring all students have access to different ways of keeping active.

They lead on campaigns and activities related to student health and wellbeing through sport.

Sitting on the Union’s Board of Trustees, VP Societies & Sport spends time working closely with students on campaign delivery while ensuring the Union is delivering on its strategic plan.
