Warwick Students' Union are looking for two new external volunteer trustees who are capable of driving the Union’s 3 year strategy forward. We have set ourselves some challenging and exciting targets in our mission to create a better experience for students at Warwick University and our Trustees have a significant part to play in their delivery.
Warwick SU is an organisation of 20,000+ students from across the UK and overseas, which provides extensive services in terms of representation on academic issues, welfare, campaigns and social provision as well as support for 250 societies and over 70 sports clubs.
