As students, you are all welcome to attend council, however, if you could email SU President, Lynette Williams letting her know first so that we know how many students to expect.
See here for the Agenda and Minutes.
There are still a number of roles that students can be voted into during council. These are:

There are still 2 open place Trustee roles and 8 Student Council open places too.
If you would like to know more about these positions, or would like to stand for them, please get in touch with Colina Wright, Interim Membership Services Manager by either email, telephone or in person on Level 1, DSU.
WHAT IS STUDENT COUNCIL?
The Student Council has a dual function. Firstly it will discuss, debate and decide on policies that the union will adopt. Secondly, it will hold the Executive Officers to account for the work that they do.
Any member of DSU can propose policies to the Council, although only council members can vote.
Although some policies are decided by the Council, policies which could greatly effect the workings of the Union will be decided by a referendum.
