Welcome

Welcome to university life! And welcome back to our returning students. September is a great time to find out about all the student opportunities available to you at your students’ union.
Two committee members sit at a table and talk to students interested in joining their society.

Welcome is the start of the academic year at university, the opportunity to meet your community, get to know your students' union, and find out more about all of the activities you can get involved in.

The Falmouth and Exeter Students’ Union is a not-for-profit organisation focused on improving the university experience for students at Falmouth University and the University of Exeter in Cornwall. We are here to act in your benefit and represent you.

You are represented by your sabbatical officer team. They are students who are elected into their role to lead the students' union for a year. The Presidents and Vice Presidents make decisions on the future of your union.

Your sabbatical officer team 2025/26

SU President Falmouth

Jadelle Luckman

Hey, I’m Jadelle, your President Falmouth! I’m back for my second term, and I’m buzzing to be a voice our amazing student community again this year. Originally from the West Midlands, I moved to Cornwall back in 2020 to start my undergrad in Popular Music (so yeah, I think I can call myself a local now). I stuck around after that to do my Master’s in Music Business, so after five years here, I know the ups, the downs, and everything in between when it comes to student life. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me at the beach or at Pendennis Point, my favourite places to unwind. I’m also big on grabbing a coffee (iced caramel latte is my go-to), hanging out with mates, or catching up on some much-needed sleep. Having started uni just as the cost of living crisis kicked off, I know how tough it can be. That’s why I’m all about making student life more affordable and accessible; like pushing for cheaper food on campus, more affordable parking, better financial transparency and cheaper printing. Basically, making things a little easier, so you can focus on the good stuff. I’m always around if you’ve got ideas, questions, or just fancy a chat, come say hey!

SU President Exeter

Izzy Brinkley

Hey everyone! I’m Izzy (she/her), your President Exeter for 2025/26! I’m a recent Conservation Biology and Ecology graduate, originally from rural Suffolk in the South East. As part of my undergrad degree, I undertook a placement year working in conservation social science research - combining my love for conservation and communities! During my 4 years of study down here in Cornwall, I’ve grown to appreciate just how transformative placement and internship opportunities are; but also how difficult they can be financially as unpaid or unsupported positions, which are typically targeted towards students. As such, I am keen to help make placement and internship opportunities more accessible to all during my time as a Sabb this year. I strongly believe in creating connections between people (and nature!) and growing as a person through new experiences, both on a personal and professional level. This belief leads me to see every opportunity as a learning one, and constantly strive for creating a space for growth that is fair, inclusive, sustainable, and where everyone has a voice for change. When I’m not hanging around at the SU, I love exploring new coffee shops in town and paths along the coast, as well as going for a sea swim/snorkel, or curling up with a tea and a movie! Being able to study here in Cornwall is such a unique opportunity, and I’m super excited to represent our diverse student community here to involve your voices in high-level university discussions. I am always down for a wander around campus, or a catch-up over coffee, so please don’t hesitate to come find me if you have any issues, or just pop along for a chat!

SU Vice President Exeter

Avery Bailey

Hi, I’m Avery (she/her)! I moved from Devon to Cornwall in 2024 to start my masters in Conservation and Biodiversity. I adore spending my free time out in nature volunteering, sea swimming and backpacking. At home I live for a good romance book, board game, arts & crafts and D&D. Coming from a turbulent undergraduate experience, I quickly became infatuated with Cornwall and its glowing community. My own student struggles and working as SU Crew to help run events such as Free Soup Fridays have made me extremely passionate about combatting student poverty. Student financial difficulties have become increasingly culturally normalised leading to students suffering in silence. Developing a strong sense of community, student rights, empathy and understanding is integral to elevating student welfare. Promoting Equality, inclusion, health, nutrition and wellbeing lies at the core of my manifesto and beliefs

SU Vice President Falmouth

Aisha Lord

Heyyy I'm Aisha (She/Her) the new Vice President Falmouth for 25/26! I recently completed the Popular music Ba course and I can't wait to get stuck into the new year as your Vice President. I'm from the North East, Sunderland, and since moving to Falmouth I have fallen in love with the community and music scene here. I have a huge passion for performing and writing music, so outside of the SU you'll find me at gigs in town or in the practice rooms with other, very talented musicians! When I'm not watching live shows, I love to play pool or spend time with my friends, whether that be watching movies together, sitting at the beach or having a chaotic games night. I usually have my headphones on when walking around campus, but don't be afraid to come say hello, I'm always happy to help or even just have a chat :) I've been a student for four years in Falmouth and as a person of colour, studying in Cornwall, I'm keen to create a more diverse environment for students that supports people of all different backgrounds and cultures. I believe that all students should feel like they belong and are loved and encouraged at Falmouth, as well as having equal opportunity to thrive and enhance their university journey. So if I can help you with something you may be struggling with along the way, then I'm happy to do so! I have always been involved with campaigning, protests or voicing opinions loud and clear and now I can't wait to do that for you! I am incredibly passionate about helping others. I have a resilient nature and a strong drive to ensure your voices are heard and to create the changes you need and want in our community.

How can I get involved with The SU?

Every student at Falmouth University and the University of Exeter in Cornwall is automatically a member of The SU - you're already involved! You can join a sports club or society, chat with your course rep or volunteer to be a course rep, make a suggestion to improve your uni experience on Make a Change, or simply attend one of our many events to help you connect with people like you. We've got plenty of ideas for things you can and places to visit when you're studying in Cornwall.

Welcome 2025 events

The best way to meet new people and get settled at university is to explore the range of opportunities available to you. At The SU, you are the centre of everything we do, if students are interested in it, so are we!

Budget now, save yourself the stress. Getting your money in line now will benefit you when it comes to planning out the things you want to do this year, whether that looks like travelling over the winter break or comfortably ordering a special celebratory drink when your assignment results come up. You can get free budgeting help from our Advice team.

Taking care of yourself

New place, new housemates, new course, new people: this is a busy time that can be overwhelming. You don’t have to make friends and feel sparkly the whole time.

You can find lots of helpful platforms and links in our mental health resources but if you need more help, you might want to talk to the student support team.

Your questions answered
