- Make your voice the loudest
The new committee will pledge to fulfil these promises to the students at Newman Univeristy.

Chris commented, “Firstly I want to say thank you to every student who voted in this year’s SU elections, particularly in light of a completely different looking elections this year. It is an honor to again have been elected to represent students as their SU President and lead the Union forward for another year.
“Looking to the future, we are planning to continue providing as much support as possible for students during the current pandemic, with me personally looking to tackle mental health stigmas, ensure more student voice than ever is heard and raise the profile of Newman students to other universities and SU’s across the midlands region.
“Again, thank you to every single student who has again put their faith in me to lead their Students’ Union.”
