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.

Seyi Lowo

Co- President (Self-identifying Female)


"I am thrilled to be a President of Beds SU. To unite different nationalities and enhance cultural understanding on campus, I propose frequent multicultural activities such as cultural festivals, culinary tastings, music performances, and educational programs highlighting our diverse traditions and histories. 

Establishing multicultural student organisations and affinity clubs will foster interaction and mutual learning. By promoting communication, collaboration and respect, we can create a more inclusive and peaceful campus. 

I aim to make the University a safe space where students can gain meaningful skills and experiences, feeling confident upon graduation. I am excited to meet and work with everyone to make a meaningful difference together."

Chidera Umeh

Co-President (Self-identifying Male/Non-binary)


“Being the Co-Vice President for the past year, I can say that identifying a single change that Universally improves students’ campus experience is challenging, as preferences and needs can vary widely. 

However, I will be focusing more on collaborating with the University student support department to increase awareness on the support system available to students.

I will continue to work on Beds SU cost-of-living policies, and last but not least I aim to improve and continue close collaboration with the students society groups to create more inclusive and educating events on campus."
