What is Student Council?

Student Council is one of the most senior committees in the Students’ Union, responsible for setting Union policy and holding your elected representatives accountable.

Council members represent the areas they were elected to - both within the Union and on University Committees - ensuring student voices shape decisions at the highest level.

Who can get involved?

All students are welcome to attend Student Council meetings as observers and join in the debates. If you want to take a more active role on Student Council outside of the regular elections, contact Ben Sanders at ben.sanders@wrexham.ac.uk to find out about available positions and the process for joining.
