Each officer will be showcased on a different week with a theme of their role following, for example the Women’s Officer Week will discuss topics like #FreeThePeriod and the pay gap. The outcome of the campaign is to ensure that all students’ feel supported by the Students’ Union and its officers and knowledgeable about what it is that they actually do.
A spokeswoman for the Students’ Union says:
‘It’s really important that students’ know who they can turn to when they see an issue. If a student is unhappy about the amount of energy the University uses on things like lighting – they can go to their Environmental Officer, if a student feels like the University can do more for the Welsh language – they can turn to the Welsh Language Officer. Our officers are there to cover all aspects of University life and the Union is more than just Freshers’ week! We really hope that this campaign will allow students’ to see and understand that.’
Watch this space for the next PTO of the week!
