"I had the best three years at UCLan. I loved it; the student life, the university, the union. So much so I stood for election, and I can honestly say that it was the best decision of my life.
If you’re passionate about representing and defending student rights then this is for you. Even by standing as a candidate you get the experience of running a campaign, an amazing few weeks that will stay with you forever. Any questions than please do ask us. But my final piece of advice? GO FOR IT!!"
