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.

Introducing Abdi...
I'm a philosophy student from Somalia and Sheffield and I am looking forward to welcoming you to my hometown and to our community of students. My priorities this year are Community, Activism and Access. Community is about assuring that the Students' Union and University are not places we pass through but places we fit into. Activism is about appreciating that students have always been a powerful force for change in society and this remains a powerful part of the student experience. Access is about insuring that where you happen to have been born doesn't play any part in whether you can join our student community. Also if you have a few spare moments and want to talk to me about any of these email me at su-president@sheffield.ac.uk. We are a friendly bunch, if you see any of us about remember to say hi, hey or hello.
