We’re back from the February break with a big reminder: Elections Nominations close this Friday, 27th February at 10am. If you've got the passion to represent students at Edinburgh College and lead our Students’ Association, now is the time to submit your nomination!
Here’s a reminder of the different responsibilities of the Full-Time Officer roles.
- President – focuses on education, learning and teaching, and represents students at the College’s Board of Management
- Vice President Activities – focuses on designing and promoting events and activities to enrich student life
