The Student Union (SU) serves as a channel of communication between the student body and the College Senior Leadership Team. This helps evolve the College experience for all, ensuring students' views and opinions are included every step of the way. The SU also supports the local community through the voluntary work they do and the causes they support.

Antonio - Student Union President

Hello, I am Antonio, your SU President for 2022/23 and I study Computer Science Level 3, currently in my second year. First off, I want to ensure students who are studying at this college have a wonderful College experience. I am here to represent the views and voices of our student body and make sure that the suggestions that students request can be achieved.

How does the Student Union work?

The Student Union representatives are elected by East Surrey College students via an election process.
The successful candidate is then appointed as Student Union President (Student Governor) for the academic year.

The Student Union Vice-President is also appointed and is a designated Student Governor. They attend meetings when the President is unable to.
The Student Union President meets regularly with the Chief Executive, Principal, and Director of Governance and also attends the Corporation board and Learning & Quality Committee meetings.
