► The Sabbs
The four sabbs, or sabbatical officers, are elected by the student body each March. They are students who spend a year working full time leading and directing different areas of union activity. Together with members of staff from within the Association, they form the senior staff team that handles the day to day running of the Union and its activities.

Director of Student Development and Activities |
David assists and co-ordinates the activities of the Student Services Committee and the 120+ societies that are affiliated to the Association to make sure that each St Andrews student has as many paths open to them to get involved as possible. He also works closely with the Careers Centre, University and other institutions on issues such as Personal Development Planning and ways of acknowledging extra-curricular activities. |

Director of Events and Services |
Having given St Andrews music a new lease of life setting up Music Is Love with some friends, Rollo's now looking to put St Andrews more firmly on the musical map, organising more regular dance nights and gigs, as well as one-off events like Freshers' Week and the Graduation Ball. He's also the person to go to for Equipment Hires, the Union Cafés, the Union Shop, Bars and so on. Gruyere is one of his favourite cheeses. It IS a good cheese, is it not?
