Who We Are:

We say we’re run by students and we mean it! Elected by the student body, your Sabbatical Officers are 4 students who take a year out of their studies to work full-time at the SU; representing you, supporting you and helping to make student-led improvements to your University.   

This year they are:  

  • Head of Student Voice – Vaios Koukouletsos  
  • Head of Education – Ciprian Chiru  
  • Head of Engagement – Fern Anyan  
  • Head of Student Wellbeing – Teodor Mitsev 

Find out more about your Sabbatical Officers!  

We also have a number of Student Officers representing the voices of the Solent community, they include our Disabilities Officer, International Officer and many more. Meet your student officers!  

Elections

Every year we hold elections to democratically choose our Sabbatical & Student Officers for the following year. Students are nominated, voted for and elected by the student body. These elections often involve delicious incentives so don’t forget to use your vote to influence positive change at your University.  

Events

The SU runs events throughout the year, from live music to the ‘Refreshing Farm’ (featuring cute animals), nights out and of course the all-important Freshers Fayre! This year may be a little different but there’ll still be some fantastic events for you to take part in, wherever you are in the world! 

Societies 

With more than 30 societies ranging from eSports to Proofreading, you’re bound to find something to suit you. They’re the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded people, build your skills and can open doors to new opportunities! Discover & Join Solent’s societies

Becoming an Officer isn’t the only way to influence decisions at the University, you can always put motions to Student Council, the primary student-led decision-making platform at Solent. Find out about Student Council.
