Board of Trustees
The Students' Union is governed by a Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees ensures the Union has the necessary financial and structural stability to carry out its aims effectively. The Board of Trustees makes major decisions on legal and financial issues and ensures that the Union is delivering on the political policy set by its democratic bodies.
The Board of Trustees is made up for the following:
Student Trustees
There are four student trustees who reflect the demographic of the whole student body, from freshers through to postgraduates. Student Trustees are elected by cross campus ballot in October for a twelve month period.
Sabbatical Trustees
Sabbatical Trustees are four of the Sabbatical Officers of the Students' Union. They carry out their roles as laid down by the Governing Documents and Union Policy. The Sabbatical Officers are elected by cross campus ballot in the Spring and take office from 16 July following their election through to 15 July of the next year.
External Trustees (UCL, Alumni & Professional)
There are three external Trustees – a member of UCL staff, a UCL Alumni who have graduated over five years previously, and a professional member who is unconnected to UCL. External trustees are appointed by Union Council for a term of three years.
