► Sabbatical Officers

ULU exists to campaign and change the world, as directed by you. We may do other things as well, but representation is what ULU exists for: it is run democratically, for and by students. 

The union is run on a day-to-day basis by its Sabbatical Officers ­ a team of elected full-timers. They are available to meet with you if you have an issue or an idea, and they are accountable to you via the ULU Senate ­ a representative council which meets regularly in term time.

Michael Chessum, ­ ULU President 

As the President, Michael is primarily responsible for representing students to the University and the outside world. In practice, this means a lot of campaigning and activism around issues like fees and cuts and housing ­organising demonstrations and meetings, and making the public case for free education and decent and affordable housing.

The President is the primary contact between ULU and the University of London, and with national level organisations. They also chair the Trustee Board, which has responsibility for the operational and financial side of the union.

Michael has also been leading on wide-ranging review of ULU¹s structures and processes, which are due to come into effect this term. These include the introduction of autonomous liberation campaigns, part-time executive officers and a full-time Women¹s Officer.
