Student Officers


Meet your elected officers, working full-time to represent and support you at UEA.

About Student Officers

 

Student officers are democratically elected by UEA Students to represent them to the University and the wider world, to lobby for their interests and make University life the best it can be. Your student officers represent you! You can contact them about academic issues, clubs and societies, campaigns and more. 

 

The 19 elected officers make up the Student Officer Committee (SOC) and are responsible for the day-to-day decisions and direction that the Union takes. They also lead campaigns and every day push for change on students’ behalf.

Officer updates 

Your student officers make a commitment to the student body in their manifestos, which they follow up on once elected. Alongside their busy meeting schedules and bustling social media presence, they also respond to key national and global issues and keep you up to date with all the SU is doing. 


Officer elections 

Elections are held every year for all student officer positions, usually between January and March. Any student can run! Find out more at our Elections page.
