Student's Union Executive Committee

 St George's Students' Union at St. George’s, University of London - is the legally recognised body of all students who study here. It represents students on all matters, with academic, social and welfare responsibilities. There is no charge for students to join, and the services offered by the Students’ Union include the School Shop, the Bookshop, the Bar, clubs and societies and the Robert Lowe Sports Centre.

SGSU is managed by the student Exec which is made up of elected officers and council representatives. The Exec manages the running of all student activities, funds and manages the clubs and societies accounts. It meets fortnightly during term and all students are welcome to attend meetings.

SGSU is affiliated to NUS (National Union of Students) and ULU (University of London Union). The resources offered to us by the NUS include a vast wealth of information to legal advice, and discounts on services and in high street stores. ULU are able to offer additional clubs and societies that may not be offered here at St George's, and allows the more competitive students to play at higher levels.
 

 

 

Hi there! My main job on the SU Exec is to look after your general wellbeing, so if you have any problems at all please come and see me and I'll do whatever I can to sort them out; whether they are with exams, with a lecturer or just generally want to chat.  You'll find me in the Exec office, where my door is always open; as are the Counsellors' doors, who are just round the corner and are there to listen when you need it most.  Both myself and the Counsellors work with a policy to be completely confidential, so you can be assured that anything you tell us will go no further.  I also sit on various Educational Committees where it is my job to make your voices heard by the staff who set the structure of your course and look after all your educational needs.  Oh yes... and you can get free condoms and free chlamydia self-screening kit from me too - completely discretely of course.

Hello there, my name’s Ray and I am acting as your Union Chair for this academic year. This means I run all the meetings of the Union, and make sure that the Union plays by the rules and everything is above board. Also, I act as ‘The Oracle’ regarding SGSU’s Constitution and Policies (The Playbook- pick up a copy from the SU Office, or get it from the SU website- it’s a great read, honest!). In all seriousness, I’m here to answer questions for both the Exec and students alike, so please don’t hesitate to say hello if you see me around!  You’ll also catch me on the field as captain of the Men’s Hockey 2nd XI, and on the stage in the Revue and Musical.

Hello everyone. We are your charities officers for the next year. Our job is to raise as much as possible for charities throughout the year, working with societies and campus charities to help them raise as much as they can.

We need YOU to get involved in RAG. RAG will be around the end of February with even more incredible events than freshers; such as the crazy man-o-man, the legendary RAG ball and the best event in the whole year, the Pram Race. It is sure to be the most amazing few weeks of your year, so make sure YOU get involved.

The most important way we raise money in RAG is mashing. Mashing involves going out on the tube with buckets, dressed in scrubs, nurses outfits and anything else silly that you can get your hands on. This is where we require ALL OF YOUR help!
So come February, take a little trip to the RAG office, borrow some scrubs and help us raise more than ever before. And in the meantime make sure you experience that legendary George’s spirit – COR BLIMEY!
 

Hey guys!

Hello Everyone! Our job is to oversee your entertainment for this year. That means controlling when and where you are entertained. So, no fun whatsoever unless we tell you to.  We're joking of course, and we want you to have as much fun as possible while you're here.
If any of you have any ideas for the music at the discos, the running of rehearsals and shows for the performing societies, then let us know. Of course, if there are any budding DJs out there, tell us and we'll try and slot you in to play at one of the discos.
So we hope you party-animals are prepared for this year, as the bar officers and us will be working hard for your enjoyment.

Hi Everyone! The societies at St George's represent the vibrant and inclusive nature of the Students' Union. Societies add a huge amount to your experience of university life. This is where we, the Societies Officers, come into action.
Our aim is to represent you and the societies at St George's.
With around 60 different societies there is hopefully something to tempt everyone in the student's union. Of course, if you can't find a society to fulfil your needs, we can help and support you to create one.
Societies are a fantastic way to meet new people, learn new skills and have a lot of fun. If you have any questions about the clubs and societies at George's or any other aspect of university life, please don't hesitate to ask us. Drop us an email at susociet@sgul.ac.uk or pop up to the Students' Union office.
