YUSU PRESIDENT
James Durcan
As YUSU President, I see going out and listening to students as a big part of my role. I act as a key representative for you when meeting with Executive University Management and other stakeholders, so it’s important you know what I’m up to and how you can shape your Union. I also play a major part in YUSU campaigns, work closely with colleges and their student committees, as well as being responsible for coordinating and supporting the other elected Sabbatical Officers.
YORK SPORT PRESIDENT
Zac Sheppard
Getting involved in sports and physical activity here at York! We have a huge variety of sports clubs who want to welcome you. From Give it a Go sessions, to College leagues, to BUCS Wednesdays there’s something for every level of player.
Community & Wellbeing Officer
Steph Hayle
It’s my job to lobby and campaign around welfare provisions within the University, local community, and nationally; working alongside York Council to build community engagement; advocating for our liberation networks; and providing signposting support so you know where to go for help.
Student Activities Officer
Finn Judge
My job is to look after the fun extracurricular stuff outside of your degree. That’s everything from our 200+ societies, media and volunteering groups, to big campus bungee jumps for ‘RAG’ (Raising And Giving). York has the most societies per student in the country, so if there’s anything you wanted to try out, we’ve probably got it on offer!
Academic Officer
James Hare
It’s my job to represent you in everything academic - including learning, teaching, assessment and feedback. I will facilitate dialogue between students, academic reps and the University at all levels, from informal meetings between students and departments, right up to discussions with senior managers in the University. I will push for tangible improvements to the academic experience at York, making your engagement with your degree the best it can be.
