Thanks for a great election!

Hiya everyone!

We've had a really busy few weeks at the Students' Association! With the elections last week, we got a new team member for next year (see the article below for details!), and Adam and myself were re-elected.

A huge thank you to all the students who voted in the election - you're so important to keeping the Students' Association running and delivering for Edinburgh College students.

I look forward to seeing you on campus over the next few months, and to those of you coming back next year, we'll make it great!

Your new Students' Association Team

Over 800 of you voted in our Students' Association 2025 elections last week! Thanks so much to those of you who took part and had your say. We had a great time running polling stations on all four campuses, chatting to students and finding out what's important to you.

Your 2025-26 Officer Team includes a couple of familiar faces:

  • Adam Lowe, President
  • Mary O'Driscoll, Vice-President Activities
  • Sukinder Landa, Vice-President Welfare

The new term will begin on 1st July 2025 and will run until 30th June 2026.

Granton Student Community Fridge has moved!

At Granton Campus, we have now relocated the Student Community Fridge so it is based outside the Students' Association office, R101.

Deliveries will take place on Wednesdays, with stock distributed throughout the day. There is a limit of 5 items per person, so that we can help as many students as possible. Feel free to come along and help yourself, no questions asked.

The Student Community Fridges are a great project that help save students money, and reduce foodwaste. Good for students, and good for the planet!

Deliveries come to Sighthill on Mondays, Milton Road on Wednesdays and Midlothian on Thursdays.
