Each year, Beds SU holds annual Student Elections, offering each student at the university the opportunity to vote for student candidates who they think will best support, listen to and lead the student voice for everyone.
Get to know your 2022/23 Exec Officers
As a way of introduction, we asked each of your new officers to share their vision for the year ahead and to tell us a little bit about themselves.
Laura Tamara

"Thank you for re-electing me as your female Co-President, I am delighted for another opportunity to serve. Studying is a commitment which requires a measured approach to keep balance in all areas of life, many of you have jobs alongside your course to maintain yourself, this is understandable. Physical health and emotional well-being are so important whilst studying, I am an advocator of self-care and encourage you to take this journey one step at a time."
"Remember to have fun, connect with people, visit the library, and explore your campus."

"My vision for the year ahead is to ensure that there is reduction in academic offences amongst students to ensure academic integrity in the university and improve the society activities in the university."
"I am currently doing my MBA in Data Analytics and have a MSc in International Relations Management. Away from my studies I love to play scrabble and football."
Ryan Murphy

"Within the year ahead I aim to improve awareness of the personal academic tutor (PAT) system and campaign for its monitoring to ensure that all students have the opportunity get support from academic staff. Additionally, I will strive to gain insight from students on what events they would like to see hosted by the union so that activities on offer cater to students of all demographics."
