Faculty Officers
Faculty Officers are the voice of students studying in their Faculty. There are four Faculties; Liberal Arts and Sciences (FLAS), Education, Health and Human Sciences (FEHHS), Business (FBUS), and Engineering and Science (FES). There are four Faculty Officers elected per Faculty each year, in the spring Leadership Elections. If you’re interested in becoming a Faculty Officer for this year then why not have a look at the Faculty Officer Handbook, or get in touch with the Academic Representation Team.
Faculty officers will have a Teams Induction with members of the Representation team and Full-time Officers. This induction will outline what the role of a Faculty Officer entails, expectations and support available.
Faculty Officers are expected to attend faculty level meetings and GSU will ensure Officers are sent invites to meetings via Outlook. GSU will also provide a meeting log for Officers to use to keep track of any actions, notes, and feedback.
Faculty Officers will receive fortnightly email updates and will have a dedicated Teams group chat as our main mode of communication.
There will also be a reward and recognitions scheme for Faculty Officers which aims to recognise all the effort you put into representing your peer’s academic interests and reward you for your time and efforts.
