► Officers: Sabbatical
Full Time Officers
Sussex’s six full-time ("sabbatical") officers are elected by cross-campus ballot every February, and take office from June until June the following year. The President is the main spokesperson for the Union and oversees every area of Union activity. The other officers have specific remits and represent you in different ways. The Education Officer, for example, runs campaigns and works with students to ensure that we all get the teaching we deserve and that we are graded fairly and equally. Similarly, the Communications Officer is responsible for Union publicity, and as such has to make sure that you are informed about Union issues, and local and national developments that effect students.
Sabbatical Officers get paid a basic wage, and are still classed as students whilst they are in office. Anyone can stand for any of the positions – look out for publicity early on in the spring term and more info at www.ussu.info/elections

It is easy for a small voice to be lost in a big institution; the union is here to make sure that doesn't happen. As education officer I am here to guide and advise students through the various hurdles that may come up. Whether it be in the form of representation during academic misconduct or appealing academic decision made by the university. This year I am hoping to revitalise the student rep scheme to make sure that the student agenda gets to the top of everyone's agenda.
