Are you a student who's passionate about making positive changes by speaking up for your peers, and having a say in important decisions? If so, you might want to consider becoming a representative.

What Is a Student Representative?
A representative, often known as a 'rep' is a student who is elected to represent their fellow students and voice their concerns, ideas, and suggestions to administrators and faculty members. They play a crucial role in making the university a better place for growth and development.
Making Change Happen
Why Become a Representative?
- Make a difference: By becoming a student representative, you have the power to make a real impact. You can work on initiatives that improve the university experience by organising events, addressing student concerns, and suggesting improvements.
- Develop Leadership Skills: Being a representative can help you develop essential life skills, such as leadership, communication, and problem-solving. These skills will serve you well in the future, no matter what career path you choose.
- Make Lifelong Friends: You'll have the opportunity to collaborate with students and make friends with people who share your passion for positive change.
- Build a Network: By connecting with fellow students, faculty members, and administrators, academic reps can expand their network and build relationships within their academic institution. This networking can lead to valuable connections, potential collaborations, and a sense of belonging within the academic community.
