Every year in July & August, the EC Students' Association Team is working hard to get the new Officers ready for their year ahead, and get things planned for when students return.
We spend a lot of time talking about all the things we want to be getting on with throughout the next academic year and we eventually develop the big things that we all want to focus on, led by the Student Officer team.
This becomes, what we call our Annual Priority Objectives and this year, the objectives are as follows:
| Objective | Summary | Lead Officer |
