Student Officers

Elected by you every March, Student Officers take a year out - a Sabbatical - from studying (or straight from graduating) to work full time, leading KSU. They work to represent your academic, social, and wellbeing needs throughout the year, engaging with University colleagues, working with local politicians, and, importantly, working with all students.

Meet your Student Officers!
