University of Leicester Students' Union

The Students' Union - Contacts

The SSC system is very much the backbone of the Union's work in academic affairs as it is through this mechanism that it is able to gauge student opinion across departments. It is therefore crucial that we stay in touch with you and you stay in touch with us. Below is a brief introduction to this year's team:

Academic Affairs Officer

Aaron Porter is a full-time Sabbatical Officer of the Students' Union with responsibility for all the Union's educational work both internally and nationally. His office is situated in the Executive corridor on the first floor of the Students' Union above the Union Shop. An open door policy is maintained so feel free to drop by whenever is most convenient for you. Alternatively you can arrange to see him at a certain time by phoning 0116 223 1128 or email vp.education@le.ac.uk

Undergraduate Representatives

Faculty Representatives are full time students at the University of Leicester and work for the Union on a part time and voluntary basis. The best way to contact Faculty Representatives is to email them at:

Arts - James Gardner artsreps@le.ac.uk
Science - Ken Van der Meeren sciencerep@le.ac.uk
Social Sciences - Scott King socialsciencerep@le.ac.uk
Law - Caronline Frost lawrep@le.ac.uk
Medicine and Biological Sciences - Hanna Tilly mbsrep@le.ac.uk

Undergraduate Representatives can also be contacted via their pigeon holes situated in the Executive Corridor of the Students' Union (above the Union Shop).

There is a representative responsible for each of the faculties. They are usually your first point of contact if you have any problems as a SSC representative or want to pursue a matter beyond your department. They sit on University Faculty Boards and Faculty Learning and Teaching Committees, where they can put forward suggestions from SSCs at Faculty level.

Postgraduate Faculty Representatives

There are also postgraduate faculty representatives and a Postgraduate Officer who can be contacted at postgraduateofficer@le.ac.uk. More details can be found on the postgraduate section of the website.
