Student with Disabilities Network Rep 23/24

The purpose of Student Networks is to represent the diverse characteristics of the Membership and exist to advance the representation of student communities that are widely acknowledged to experience or have experienced oppression, exclusion or disadvantage. They will lead and seek change within the University, the Union and the wider student experience for those that they represent.

Our current Student Networks are:

• Students with Disabilities Network 
• Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Students’ Network 
• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*, Plus (LGBT+) Students' Network 

More interestingly, each Student Network will have the opportunity to elect a Student Rep/s who will be leading the running of the Network and working with the Union to ensure your voice is heard and you can have a positive experience at University. 

This could be you! Beds SU is seeking individuals that have the passion to be the Student Network Rep for the Student with Disabilities Network.
