Student Council is the highest student-led representational body at the Students’ Union.
Student Council gives the students the chance to hear what's happening behind the scenes, approve new ideas and policies, put forward suggestions and hold the Elected Officers to account.
Who takes part in Student Council?
The council is made up of student leaders (school community organisers, student reps, society committee members, BAME advocates, buddy volunteers and HSU student staff) and occurs five times over the academic year.
Each year, a chair and deputy chair is elected by the council in the first meeting. These students will get training for their positions, and chair the council meetings for the remainder of the academic year.
Introduction of the Student Issues Forum
Over past academic years, we've seen engagement grow with Student Council, and on occasions losing its purpose and focus.
We have now introduced Student Issues Forums to address this. This is an opportunity open to all students to join and voice their concerns and feedback. The forums are themed to align with the main issues that students are shouting about. This will allow students to talk constructively and productively about these topics and input into work we do moving forward. They will be hosted by the Elected Officers.
Want to submit a montion?
If there's something you want to submit for discussion at our next meeting, please email reps@hertfordshire.su, outlining what it is, why you think it's important to students, and what you want to be done about it moving forward. This can be completed using the following form: Student Council Motion Form 2021-22. Alternatively, you can submit something to our dedicated online feedback collection tool (#HertsEmpowerment) here.
Deputy ChairMy name is Victoria Udeh. I am studying Msc. Mental Health Nursing, I play multiple sports and I'm fun filled. I have an effective leadership skill and a proven track record of achievement and change in a wide variety of settings and services. Being the Chairperson of the Student Union will aid my own development as well as that of others. One of the deepest secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others. My core value is centred on getting everyone involved in all ramification because I represent the interest of students and more importantly, I want everyone to have a memorable year!
