Aasiyah Patankar

Student President – apatankar@qmu.ac.uk

Hi there and welcome to QMU! I’m Aasiyah and will be your student president this coming year. My main job as your Student President is to help you get the most out of your university experience, ensuring that you are always supported and your voice heard at QMU!

What does the SU President do?

I work closely with the Union Staff team, the Student Officer team and the Board of Trustees to manage the Students' Union with keeping the best interests of our students at heart. I also sit on various boards and committees within the university such as Court, Senate and the Student Experience Committee and 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 share your thoughts and ideas. You can speak to your Class Reps, your elected Student Officers, and attend our student feedback forums which take place throughout the year. If you’d rather you can also 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!

Sophie Cunningham

Student Vice-President – scunningham2@qmu.ac.uk

My name is Sophie Cunningham and I am your Vice-President for QMUSU 2021/22. I have recently graduated from my degree in Business Management, before being elected I ran as Equality and Diversity Officer. I have an acute passion for sports and societies at QMU and was a part of the QMU Women’s rugby team, Sustainability society, and QMU badminton team.

Within this role, I am looking to take the opportunity of a clean slate, and make light of what has been a challenging year. Furthermore, I am excited to work alongside new and existing students to regenerate and develop S&S at QMU to its full potential. As this year will involve a lot of change in the right direction, I am looking forward to hearing peoples ideas and to build many positive relationships so that we can make this year one to remember for S&S at QMU.
