The Positions You Can Run For

  • We’re looking for individuals to come forward and fill the empty position on the TLSU Executive team for 23/24. There is 1 position to run for this time around so we can continue to represent all students across all faculties. The winning candidates will form part of the TLSU Executive Committee and hold their positions from November 5th 2023 to July 31st 2024. So let’s get straight into the details!

➡️The President – Not open for the by-Election

➡️Officers

There are also five Officer which cover the TLSU Executive Team each covering a different element of the SU. Of course everyone can pitch in and come up with great ideas, but it’s good to have an area to focus on that’s all yours. The officer positions are as follows:

  • Music Officer – Not open for election
  • Dance Officer
  • Events Officer – Not open for election
  • Welfare Officer Not open for election
  • Brand and Communications Officer Not open for election

For the Dance officer position, you could think of yourself as head student rep, or student course leader. It’s the Dance Officers job to bring together the views of all the students and try and make our education better. Because, let’s be honest, TL don’t always get it right and how can they improve without our feedback?!

All officer positions are critical to the smooth operation of the SU. You’ll liaise with your fellow students to get feedback on how everything is going and report back to the rest of the TLSU. Together, you’ll make a plan to run events, parties, classes and anything you can think of.

➡️The Sub-Team

Don’t feel like you can commit as much to the SU but still want to be involved? The Sub-Team is perfect for you. The Sub-Team are unelected positions which you can apply for where you can express why you want to help on the SU team and what interests you have and which officer you would like to support. The positions are as follows:

  • Musical Theatre Sub-Team Representative
  • Events Sub-Team Representative Not open for applications
  • Welfare Sub-Team Representative Not open for applications
  • Academic Sub-Team Representative Not open for applications
  • Sub-Team Representative (In the event MT Sub-Team Representative is not applied for)
 
To apply for the Sub-Team visit TLSU.org/sub-team to download the application form.
