I’m Amy and I will be your Students’ Union President for this year! I hope that your university experience is going to be just as amazing as mine has been and that you make the most of every opportunity that is offered to you!

As President, I act as the Chair of the Board of Trustees as well as being responsible for the financial position and performance of the SU! I focus on representing the student voice at the highest levels in the university, such as being a Governor and promoting the services of the SU internally and externally.

I spent my three years of undergraduate studies at Llandaff Campus studying Business and Management Studies with Law. I loved my time as an undergraduate so much that I wasn’t ready to leave and decided to campaign to be your SU President for 2019/20!

In my second year at university, I became more involved in the SU by becoming part of the Welcome Crew for Freshers and being a Lead Representative for the Business Department of Cardiff School of Management (CSM). As I loved my experience as Lead Rep so much, I decided to apply to become CSM Rep for my third year and I loved being so involved with the Students’ Union! Keira (who is your Vice President this year) and I were both School Reps in our third year and decided to campaign to be your sabbatical officers together, and we’re so excited for the year ahead!

My university experience would not have been so fun, and exciting had I not taken the opportunities that the Students’ Union provided, so it’s important to make the most of your time at Uni! It flies by faster than you could ever imagine!

During my time as President, I hope to achieve a number of different initiatives to make the student experience at Cardiff Met easier, simpler and more fun!

• Improve balance of assessments throughout the year
• Create more student friendly spaces for both campuses
• Improve public transport services

A huge welcome from myself and the whole of Cardiff Met Students’ Union! Welcome to the best few years of your life! I’m Keira Davies and I will be your SU Vice President for the next year.

My role is to help with anything that you, as students, may need during the year. I represent the students to make sure your voice is heard and views are shared at the highest level. Whether it be support and advice, education, welfare matters or approving a new society, if there is anything you need to chat about, feel free to pop into the office or catch me in the corridor!

I studied Sport Performance Analysis on the Cyncoed Campus for 3 years before campaigning to be your VP this year. During my time as an undergraduate student, I made sure that I immersed myself into uni life as much as possible, and it was the best decision I ever made.

Very soon into my first year, I became a part of the university’s netball club and joined a society, both which are provided by the students’ Union. Into my second and third year, I was appointed as the School Rep of CSSHS Cyncoed, where my aim was to be the main figurehead of student voice and feedback within my own school. In my third year, I became co-chair of my society, as well as becoming a head coach within the netball club. Without the Students’ Union, I wouldn’t have been able to make the most of my time at Cardiff Met, which will further benefit me in future life.

Over my time as Vice President, I aim to make life easier for Cardiff Met students, from fresher’s week to graduation. This includes:

• Increasing chill out spaces around both campuses
• Maintaining our ‘campus canines’ initiative
• Improving access to facilities the university offers

I would like to wish you all a huge good luck for your first few weeks at university Feel free to ask myself or any of the SU staff members any questions if you see us around, or pop into the SU office on either campus.
