ELECTIONS: Nominations open. Why bother running?

Posted 98 Months Ago

Nominations are open for the Student Elections until 12pm 1st March.

What are the Student Elections
The Student Elections are held every year and give Heriot-Watt students the opportunity to vote for which students represent them within the Student Union. 

What is the Student Union?
The Student Union is made up of elected students who represent other Heriot-Watt students. We're here to make your time at Heriot-Watt the best it can be. Whether that's standing up for you to the university or offering free help in our Advice Hub. Or running the only (and best!) bar on campus. All these things happen because of elected students. 

Have you thought about joining us?
Nominations are open for the elections. You could be part of the new team that represents Heriot-Watt students and works on exciting initatives to improve the student experience. We have a variety of roles including full-time (paid) and part-time positions. 

What's in it for me?
Being part of the Student Union will give you loads of great skills and experiences that will look amazing on your CV. You'll also meet loads of great people and join a thriving student community. You'll also be at the heart of making Heriot-Watt even better and helping all Heriot-Watt students. Plus if you join us as a sabbatical officer you'll enjoy a £16k annual salary. Not bad right?

Can I fit it around my studies?
Absolutely. Our part-time executive and officer roles fit perfectly around your studies. We're students too so we  work around your university schedule. 

Sounds great, how do I nominate myself?
Head over to hwunion.com/elections and fill out the form. It only takes a minute and you could make a world of difference to Heriot-Watt students.
