Who are the Student Leadership Team?
At the Students Association, we have a Student Leadership Team who are elected every two years to represent students, and to influence all levels of decision-making within The Open University.
Why do we have a Student Leadership Team?
They exist to promote your interests and to ensure the OU is more than just a place of learning – it’s a student community. The Student Leadership Team lead the Association’s strategic direction, run events and activities and talk to The Open University on your behalf about decisions that affect students. They represent the collective rather than individual needs of the student body. It meets at least four times a year, with some members of the Student Leadership Team meeting more frequently.
Who can become a member of the Student Leadership Team?
Any student can stand for election to be a member of the Student Leadership Team, and every student has the opportunity to vote for who they believe will best represent them. When all roles are not filled there will be a bye-election, and if any roles remain or become vacant, the Association will carry out a co-option process.
