The Students' Union is students'. It's in the name. 

The Students' Union is the recognised representative body of and for Lancaster University students. Students drive our work to improve their experience of University study and life. 

Students also control their Students' Union. Our Union Assembly, made up of student leaders and representatives, decide how we run, and what we do as an organisation. Our Full-Time Officers take a year out of their studies to represent students and lead their Students' Union. Students elect the Full-Time Officers every March. Students also nominate themselves for and elect Liberation and Campaign Officers, delegates to NUS National Conference, and Student Trustees on our charitable Trustee Board. 

Students are asked to elect Student Academic Representatives (to represent their academic interests) and their Junior Common Room Executive (for their college life) each Michaelmas Term. As members of affiliated societies and sports clubs, students nominate themselves for and elect the people who lead these groups. All these people are students and volunteers of the Students' Union, they all contribute to our work to represent students at Lancaster University.
