Students elected in accordance with the [[1994 Education Act]] to represent students. See our [[Salford SU Articles of Association|Articles of Association]] and [[by-laws]] for more information about how we do it. Also [[SU Elections]] in general. ## Categorisation at Salford SU Broadly we find there are two types - Engagement types - interested in making change within the SU - Advocacy types - interested in making change within the University ## Clichés nationally * ‘Head boy or girl’ type – polite, constructive characters that dress smartly for university meetings, appear in prospectus photos and run awareness campaigns. They are concerned for ‘ordinary’ students. They trust power. In the world of students’ unions they are often unfairly labelled as ‘passive’. * Activist type – scruffier, louder, more rebellious; where demonstrations and occupations are the go-to tactics for any campaign. * Most student officers combine the clichés! ## Salford SU Officer Teams - [[Student Officers 2022-23]] - [[Student Officers 2023-24]] - [[Student Officers 2024-25]] - [[Student Officers 2025-26]] ## Inductions/ training (knowledge and skills) - [[How to be an amazing Student Officer|Officer Knowledge, Skills & Behaviours]] ## Guidance on Management of Officers - [[Splitting Theory - on ways individuals deal with anxiety]] - [[When is it appropriate to step in and stop an officer from taking an action?]] ## See also - [[Former Presidents of Salford SU]]
