Letty - General Secretary
My name's Letty Newton and I am the UMSU General Secretary. It is my role to stick together the opinions of students and all the work the Union does and ensure that we are representing you well to the various structures of the University. Due to this a large part of my time is spent going to University meetings, the most senior of which is the University's Board of Governors and in this I work closely with the Academic Affairs Officer.
It would be impossible for one person to understand every student, so the General Secretary's role also involves ensuring that the Union's staff, building, commercial outlets and finances are working to represent students interests. In jargon this is referred to as 'enhancing the student experience', but what this means is giving you the best opportunities for activities and feeding back to the University what you think of your academic experience here.
Take Care
Letty
