As you will all be aware elections have been and gone. We’re very happy to announce our new sabbatical team for next year (Association President, Lewis Wood; Director of Events & Services, Hannah Jacobs; Director of Student Development & Activities, Charlotte Flatley; Director of Wellbeing, Claire Shirey; Director of Education, Zachary Davis; Athletic Union President Tom Abbott) they will start their new positions on the 1st of July after an intensive handover from the outgoing sabbaticals. Turn out for this years elections was 36.12% which means we still have the highest turn out for student elections in Scotland.
