Hey!

My name is Amy Rowley and I have recently been recruited as your Student Council Chair. What is Student Council I hear you ask? Well let me tell you….

Student Council is one of the most senior committees within the Students’ Union (SU) and led totally by students. Its role is to create policy for the SU and hold your elected representatives to account whilst also steering the work of the organisation. Students are encouraged to attend and take part in debate but will not be able to vote. However, if you would like something to be discussed at Council meetings, here is how you can do it:

1. Go to https://www.wrexhamglyndwrsu.org.uk/thestudentvoice and submitt your idea/concern/praise or other. I will then review the submission and take this forward to Student Council if appropriate.
2. You can also contact a Council representative here: https://www.wrexhamglyndwrsu.org.uk/main-menu/student-voice/student-council/meet-your-representatives and give your opinion and ask them to vote in the way you favour.
3. Why not become a full time paid or part time voluntary council member yourself? More information can be found here: https://www.wrexhamglyndwrsu.org.uk/elections

Student Council meetings take place at the end of each month on a Wednesday afternoon. If you want to get involved and attend a Student Council meeting via Teams, you can do so by emailing Marc.Caldecott@Glyndwr.ac.uk

My role on Student Council is to ensure that the meetings are run smoothly, that everyone has a chance to use their voice and to ensure deadlines are met in terms of the administration of the meetings. I also decide whether motions are suitable enough to go to council and I ensure that Council members are delivering on their manifestos and actions from Student Council meetings.
