East London Students’ Union will have two vacancies on its Board of Trustees from July 2024. These positions are open to current students who will be students until at least summer 2025.

If you are interested in supporting the Students’ Union in its aims to empower and support every UEL student, then we want to hear from you.

The Board of Trustees oversees the operations of the Students’ Union. It is responsible for our strategy, budget and governance. It is important to make sure our Board reflects the diverse student population at UEL, which is why we want to hear from all students and staff members.

We want to ensure our Board of Trustees reflects our student body so we are particularly interested in hearing from the following students:
- undergraduate students
- UK students
- women students
- students based in Stratford (Water Lane or USS)
