DSU Trustee Board
Ongoing
As a Student Trustee, your role will be to sit on a board of trustees; these trustees are a mix of external volunteers, current students and our elected Executive Officers. Together the Trustee Board govern the Union, and work alongside our staff team and student volunteers to provide a visible and empowering Students’ Union for all DMU students.
Student Trustees sit on the Trustee Board of DSU alongside External Trustees and Executive Officer Trustees. Student Trustees are not involved in the day to day running of the Students' Union but take an overview of how the Union is performing, both financially and in delivering services to students. As such you will oversee all the major decisions on behalf of De Montfort Students' Union. The Trustee Board sets out and oversees the strategic direction of DSU, ensuring that it is well managed and meeting its objectives.
