What are Student Officers?

Each academic year, five students are elected by you to take responsibility for the running of Kent Union. These 'Student Officers' take leave during their studies (or directly after) for a year and guide Kent Union to ensure it meets the needs of its students. Each officer also has an individual role in which they support, represent, campaign and organise events for students.

The five officer roles are:
President, Student Activities, Education, Welfare and Sports.

Kent Union also has 11 part time officer positions, 1 RAG president and 5 site presidents.

Student Officers work within guidelines established by all students through referenda and their work is overseen by a larger group of students called Union Council.

Any student can stand for election to become an Officer. Elections are held every March.
