The Students' Union is led by students, for students. Find out how you can shape the decisions we make - you've got the power!
The Students' Union is a democratic organisation. Each year the leaders of the Students' Union, the Student Officer Team, are elected in the campus wide Students' Union Elections. At the heart of the Students' Union is Union Council. Union Council, the highest decision-making body within the Students' Union, is made up of 29 students including Student Officers, Reps & Zone Chairs. All students can feed into the Union Council via the open zones; Your Education Zone, Your Community Zone and Your Students' Union Zone.
The date of the next Union Council wis listed on the Agenda and Minutes page. Please email d.boocock@shu.ac.uk oif you would like to attend as an observer.
If there's something you're passionate about, that you think the Students' Union could make a difference on, then why not see if you can make it an official policy?
A policy is an idea that a student, or a number of students, have had which they believe will make the student experience at Sheffield Hallam University better. It's something that they want the Students' Union to work on in order to make their Students' Union, their Education, or their time in Sheffield better. Once passed, policies are binding for three years - and the Students' Union needs to work to make sure they happen!
As a Students' Union we have a number of policies on everything ranging from ensuring students are treating equally through to ensuring we campaign for fair student fares on public transport. You can find the full list of our policies on our policy register.
Please contact your elected part-time rep if you would like to submit a policy - as all policy must be submitted by them to Union Council.
