Jay Brown (he/him)

President - Academic Life – jbrown3@qmu.ac.uk

Hiya! I’m Jay, and I’m your new President of Academic Life! I am so excited to be working alongside Lou this year to represent the students of QMU and my main priority is to put students and their needs back at the centre of all things academic. I’m here to make your voices heard, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch! 

What does the SU President do? 

I work alongside the Union Staff team, the Student Officer team, and the Board of Trustees to ensure that the best interests of our students are kept at heart. I also sit on various boards and committees within the university such as Court, Senate, Student Experience and the Equality and Diversity Committee to make sure that you are fairly represented in the University’s decisions and actions. 

How can your voice be heard at QMU? 

There are lots of ways for you to get involved and share your ideas! You can speak to your Class Reps, your elected Student Officers, and attend our student feedback forums which take place throughout the year. You are also welcome to get in touch with me directly by email, on Facebook, or even pop up to the Students' Union office anytime, our door is always open and I’m always happy to chat!

Louise Ford (she/her)

President -  Student Activities – lford@qmu.ac.uk

Hey everyone, I’m Lou and I am so excited to be working alongside the Sports and Societies (S&S) for a second year as your elected President - Student Activities. I am keen to support all members within S&S, so if you ever need me, you will be able to find me in the Students’ Union above Maggie's.  

I graduated from QMU with a degree in speech and language therapy. During my time at uni, being part of clubs really enhanced my experience and I want to make sure that you guys all get the same opportunity! I have been part of both a sport and a society whilst studying at QMU so I have a good understanding of how both run. All of our S&S are led by fellow students and joining any of our clubs is a great way to make friends for life #BleedBlue💙 

I can’t wait to get to know you all over the next year and look forward to hearing any ideas that you might have to help make the year ahead a great one!

Events Officer - suofficers@qmu.ac.uk

Hey everyone, my name is Charly and I am the new Events officer for the SU. I am a 4th year Business student and my goals this year is the further improve and utilise the social calendar for the Sports and Societies events on at Maggie's and outwith! I want to engage with all sports and societies big and small and encourage them to host more events to help bring in more students, but also give others an opportunity to do something they love or have wanted to try. Finally I want to help promote all events going on and encourage all students to attend as many as possible. Following a lot of success last year I'd love to see our events be a prime focus of the student life.
