It’s been a week of candidates, voting, free doughnuts, chatting about student democracy, and getting out and about. Now you get to find out the winners of the Sabbatical Officer Elections 2024.
Sabbatical officers represent Falmouth University and University of Exeter students to the universities, work full time to improve the university experience, and lead the strategic and political direction of the union.
Thank you to all 17 candidates who campaigned tirelessly from Monday to Thursday of voting week, talking to students at Falmouth Campus, Games Academy, AMATA, Peter Lanyon, DM, the Stannary, and more. With 10 candidates studying with Falmouth University and 7 candidates studying with the University of Exeter, there was a brilliant mix of ideas and issues that candidates wanted to tackle for our students.
