Student Council is the highest student-led representational body at the Students’ Union.
Student Council gives you the chance to hear what's happening behind the scenes, approve new ideas or policies, put forward suggestions and hold the Elected Officers to account. We run 5 or 6 meetings each year and at the first one a Chair and Deputy Chair are elected. Come to Student Council for the chance to talk directly to your Elected Officers and Students' Union, have your voice heard, influence SU policy and develop transferable skills like communication, negotiation & public speaking. Attending Student Council also counts towards the Go Herts Award and Rep Excellence Award!
What to expect
At Student Councils, Elected Officers will provide updates on their work, giving students the chance to hear directly from them and ask any questions. Once Officers have delivered their reports, motions will be debated and voted on. Any student can submit a motion about an issue they're passionate about. Students that propose motions will be invited to speak on why they think it's important. Other students can also raise their views if they wish to. Once the discussion has taken place, a vote is taken on whether the motion should be taken forwards. If it's passed, the SU will adopt the motion. Certain Student Councils will also feature other topics or announcements. The full agenda will be published beforehand so you know what to expect!
