Officers
Chiara Menozzi
Student President – cmenozzi@qmu.ac.uk
Welcome to QMU! I’m Chiara and I’m your Student President for 2019/20. My job is to help you make the most of your time at university by making sure that you always receive all the support you need and that your voice is heard at QMU.
But what does a Student President actually do..?
I work closely with the union staff team and the Board of Trustees to manage the Students' Union with 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, to make sure that you are fairly represented in the university’s decisions and actions.
How can we make our voices heard..?
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. You can also get in touch with me directly by email, on Facebook, or pop up to the SU office anytime, our door is always open!
