Democracy & Communications
Danny Barry- Democracy and Communications Officer
sudemcomms@nottingham.ac.uk
I’m here to ensure that all Students’ Union elections are equal, fair and accessible to all of you. I also oversee the organisation of Union Council, which is the Students’ Union’s decision making body. In terms of communication, my job is to help our award-winning Student Run Media Services; Impact, NUTS and URN work to their potential.
I decided to run for this position because I’m passionate about this Students’ Union and the huge amount that it has to offer. Subsequently I felt that by undertaking the role I would be able to continue with plans to reform the greatest obstacle to a fully accessible Students’ Union; our outdated democratic structures. This year make sure you look out for information on democratic reform and have your say on the changes!
My priorities this year:
-
Ensure that students have their say on the way that the Students’ Union makes decisions!
-
Increase turnout in Students' Union and NUS Delegate elections.
-
Enhance Students' Union Exec presence on all University of Nottingham campuses.
