What are the roles?
We are electing two new Part-time Officers to join our current team. We are electing:
- International Students’ Part-time Officer
- Mature Students’ Part-time Officer
Part-time Officers represent their student group on campus and beyond by running inclusive campaigns & events, and hosting student networks. They act as a key contact for students on campus, attending meetings on behalf of their student group both within RUSU and the University. Part-time Officers work together to support each other and ensure every student has a voice on campus.
