Last ever Union Council Meeting
So, that’s it, we had the last ever Union Council Meeting :( During the meeting we wrapped up what the Sabbatical Officers have done this year but most of the meeting centred around changes to the Bye-Laws. These changes affect the way you make your voice heard at the Union and how your ideas become action.  Here’s a summary of what was discussed:
Academic Rep of the Month - May 2019
As your Union, one of our most important jobs is representing your academic interests and making sure you can influence the way UCL works.  The best way for us to do this is by working with Academic Reps in every UCL Department.
We've changed our Bye-Laws
We’re led by students. But what does that mean? Well, it means you’ve got the power to change what the Union is, what it does and what it believes. But do you have any idea how to do it?
Why vote in the European Elections?
