Who are the Student Officers?
The student officers are eight students, elected by the whole student population, who work full time at the Students' Union for a year.
NUS Conference Delegates
What to speak up for Sheffield students within the NUS?
Sheffield Students' Union is a member of the National Union of Students and that means that our members have a right to have a say in how the NUS is run and what its priorities should be.
Each year the NUS holds a number of democratic conferences that decide its policies for the year ahead and select the Liberation Officers, Vice-Presidents and President.
Sheffield is represented at these conferences by our elected delegates. These are elected at the end of semester 1 each year.
