What does a sabb do?

About the event

Join The SU’s Head of Engagement, Kayleigh, for a whistle-stop run down of what a day in the life might look like for a sabbatical officer. We’ll talk through what meetings you’re expected to attend, how you make your priority happen, and all the amazing things you get to be involved in as a sabbatical officer.

Come along if you want to be a sabbatical officer or if you’re interested in understanding how they represent your views to your university.

This workshop is part of a series of workshops to support students as part of the sabbatical officer elections 2025.
