This month is a very exciting one as we welcome our new Student Presidents into their roles. Student Presidents are here to ensure all RGU students have a voice and are getting the best student experience possible, they do this by working closely with the university on issues that affect your student experience.
In March you elected three new Student Presidents to work full-time for the Students' Union, representing you, lets learn some more about them!
