Executive and Part-Time Officer Elections 2026

Each year, we elect Executive Officers and Part-Time Officers (PTOs) to help us build a community where all students are empowered to thrive, belong and succeed. This could be to make extenuating circumstances easier, improving services like the library, running community building events, creating new training for staff on how to better support their students, or even running campaigns nationally with other officers across the SU.
