What is Student Assembly?

Student Assembly is a meeting of elected student representatives who set the policies and campaigns of the Union. It ensures the Union focuses on the issues that matter most to Brunel students.

As a member, you will also hold the Student Officers to account by asking questions, giving feedback, and making suggestions to ensure the Union is run in the best way possible. Student Assembly is a chance to debate, represent, and drive meaningful change on campus.
