Hello from your Student Exec!
We’re your Student Exec, we are a team of elected students here to represent you, stand up for your interests, and help shape student life at Leeds. Whether it’s pushing for better mental health support, tackling the cost of living, improving academic experiences, or making sure everyone feels welcome and included – we’re here for you.
Our office is on the 1st floor of the Union. Drop by anytime, whether you’ve got an idea, a concern, or just want to find out what we’re working on. You’ll also see us around campus throughout the year, especially during Welcome Week and major events.
Follow us (and LUU) on Instagram to keep up with what we’re doing, how you can have your say, and how to get involved. We’d love to hear from you.
