Full Time Officers
Full Time Officers (FTOs) are the top leaders of your Students’ Union and work full-time to make your student life better. Elected by students every March, they work for a year to represent your views to the University, run campaigns to deliver real change and support the work of our incredible student volunteers.
With the reshuffling of the team structure (from six officers to four), you can get to know your new Full-Time Officers (FTOs) for 2024/25 a little bit better here!
Cerys Evans
Hello again! I'm Cerys, a Maths student who's returning for my second year as LUSU President!
As President, I lead the overall work of the Students’ Union and the Full Time Officer team to ensure that they are winning for students at every opportunity. As President I'm the lead spokesperson for the SU on all political matters relating to student life at Lancaster.
Over the next year I want to focus on putting on a great Welcome Week in collaboration with College JCRs; improving digital systems for students; and ensuring reward & recognition for student leaders.

Harrison Stewart
Hey, I'm Harrison! Last year, as VP Union Development, I had the opportunity to implement lots of change, including making the Sugarbus free!
For this year, I'll be shifting my focus to education.
As your Education Officer, my priorities are to free up Wednesday afternoons for BUCS Sport; cut the timetabled day down to 9-5; and to embed climate and sustainability education into curriculums.

Jack Watson
I started at Lancaster back in 2019, and I’ve involved myself as much as possible in sport and activities since I started. I had the honour of being elected the President of American Football over the last two years, as well facillitating and being a part of this year's killer Roses.
Now, as Activities Officer, my main goals are to develop a Student Volunteer Recognition Programme; continue the development of Societies Committees and Leagues, and expand the Student Leader training offer, to improve your time at Lancaster!

Ella Smith
Hi I'm Ella, your new Wellbeing Officer! As a previous exec on JCR and SCAN, as well as working closely with previous LCOs, I have plenty of experience working with students and I'm determined to keep you #FeelingWellWithEll.
For me, being a Wellbeing Officer means ensuring safety for students, both on and off campus; supporting communities such as the JCRs, Liberation Forums, and Societies; and student financial assistance in the form of funding, food, and other hygiene products.

Liberation & Campaign Officers
Lancaster is a diverse and multicultural community and we can help you to find your people in our Liberation & Campaign Forums. The forums are each led by your Liberation & Campaign Officers (LCOs) who work to build communities and campaign to improve the experience of these students. LCOs are elected in Lent term of each year and serve the same term as FTOs. LCOs also sit on the Union Assembly helping to make change in LUSU and steer the direction of your FTOs. If you identify within a forum, then you are automatically a member of that community! Find out more about your LCOs and discover their forums below!
