New Students’ Union UCL Sabbatical Officers

Student’s Union UCL’s 2019-20 Sabbatical Officer team were announced in March after an election which saw a phenomenal 35,614 ballots cast.

The new team includes:

• Aatikah (Welfare and International Officer) 
• Ashley (Education Officer) 
• Carol (Democracy, Operations and Community Officer)
• D’Arcy (Activities Officer)
• Jim (Postgraduate Students’ Officer)
• Nilisha (Women’s Officer)  
• Sandra (Black & Minority Ethnic Students’ Officer)

All seven Sabbatical Officers will spend the academic year 2019-20 working full-time to lead the Students’ Union and represent all students across UCL.

The newly elected Sabbatical Officers will begin in July and their role involves sitting on a wide range of UCL committees to represent students. In addition to this, two Sabbatical Officers are members of UCL Council, working in close collaboration with UCL and other elected students to helping improve student life at UCL. 

Each Sabbatical Officer brings a unique set of experiences and insights to Students’ Union UCL.

The Sabbatical Officers have proposed various areas they intend to dedicate attention to improving, including:

• Mental health and support awareness
• ISD Meet & Greet at all external lecture venues
• Improving student facilities
• Increasing priority spaces available for activities
• Campaigning for better pay and benefits for students who teach
• Increasing financial support to disabled women with care-giving responsibilities
• Fighting for quality welfare support for BME students
