Students’ Union
Meet your Students’ Union Team
The Students’ Union (SU) is led by two Sabbatical Officers, who are elected by the student body each year.
The team that will be representing you this year is:
- President – Gemma Bowen
- Vice President – Cloudy Kerin
Newman Students’ Union is also led by a team of part-time officers, who will be elected in September 2024.
New for 2024/25, the Students’ Union has gone through a governance review to establish a whole new set of inclusion offices to best meet the needs of our students. Look out for these positions and how to stand for election in the first few weeks of term.
Newman Students’ Union is here for all students whilst here at Newman University. Newman Students’ Union puts students first and is one of the main ways to make the most of your university experience.
As soon as you enrol at Newman University, you automatically become a member of the Students’ Union which means that you are able to access all of our services such as:
- Societies
- Becoming a Course Rep
- Events and Activities
- Campaigns
- Raise and Give (charity opportunities)
- Running in our Elections
- Advice Centre
-
The SU promises to make your voice the loudest whilst at Newman.
One of the ways in which we do this is by students becoming Course Reps. Our Course Reps are the main point of call for students for course and university feedback.
We also have Faculty Reps who support Course Reps at a departmental level to ensure that the student voice is heard and acted upon.

The SU promises to put you at the heart of an exciting Newman community. We do this in a variety of ways such as being a part of one of our amazing student groups – which we call our societies, taking part in one of our wide ranges of events and activities or taking part in some of the campaigns that we run.
Newman Students’ Union is run for students and by students. The Students’ Union is ran by our elected Officer team. We also have a team of professional staff who are employed to facilitate the smooth running of the Union’s day-to-day operations and activities.
The SU also offers free and impartial advice for your academic queries. They can offer general advice on University life as well as guiding you through academic processes, misconduct appeals or complaints.
You can access this by visiting the SU office in the main atrium or by emailing su-advice@newman.ac.uk.
