We are your Full-Time Union Officer team for 2023/24, your elected representatives for the year ahead.
As a BU Student, you are automatically a member of the Students’ Union at Bournemouth University, and we can’t wait to meet you!
Our priority as elected officers of your Students’ Union (SUBU) is to ensure fairness for all, and that your voice is heard- both within the Union and the University. There are so many incredible opportunities for you here, from becoming an elected officer, collecting feedback as a Student Rep, joining our Liberation Campaigns, over 120 Clubs and Societies and much more.
We hope you enjoy reading about our aims for the year ahead, we are very excited to be representing you. If you would like to pay us a visit or talk to us about anything, please come and see us in the Student Centre (Talbot Campus) on the first floor or in our office on the third floor in Bournemouth Gateway Building on Lansdowne Campus.
Best wishes,
Chike, Holly, Fatima and Valerie
