The turnout this year amounted to 2459\u2014the highest amount of votes cast in an election for part-time officers in the university\u2019s history. This perhaps reflects the recent increase of young people becoming more engaged in politics.<\/p>\n
Ally Routledge, the successfully-elected Undergraduate Humanities Officer said: \u201cThe high turnout from the election proves that students really do care about how their university is run\u2014I will work hard to represent the views of all humanities students to make their time at university the best it can be.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year the elections had a bit of a shake up. If successful, candidates are now allowed to help set the direction of the Senate, allowing them to assist in shaping university policy. This gives the newly elected officers a chance to really put their mark on how things are done. Students are encouraged\u00a0to approach the newly elected committee if they want to suggest how university life could be improved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
