Student Group Boards

To ensure students are involved in all our decision makings at Queen Mary Students’ Union, we have boards consisting of staff and students for each Student Group area. The aim is to focus on what matters most to the relevant Student Groups, improve how students can make an impact and remove potential barriers.
