'Hello! I’m Tom Underwood your Union Community Sabbatical. It’s my duty and my ambition to unite all the students across all our campuses, which is no small task considering we have more than a dozen sites across Cumbria, Lancashire and even in London! I act as the eyes and ears of the SU at the local level and as a first port of call whatever your issues are, if you have a problem, idea or suggestion then I’ll be about to field anything and everything.
I hope to achieve this by devoting at least two days a week at sites other than my ‘home’ campus, which is Lancaster, which means I’ll be spending a lot of time in the SU car or on the West Coast Train line, but I’ll have my SU mobile and laptop so I’ll always be contactable.
This is the first year of a new system of how we are organised as we strive to represent your needs. A key feature of our fresh approach is for to devote serious time and resources to making sure we have a true cross campus focus, and I am confident and eager to make it work and talk to as many of you as possible. As an elected sabbatical my areas of speciality will be equality, diversity and inclusion, and I look forward to working both locally and across the entire institution to allow students to lead the development of a University where everyone can play a part in their educational life and union community irrespective of how they are defined.
Look out for me over the first few weeks of term, I’ll be making high profile initial visits to each campus and site and would love to chat to each and every one if you. Keep an eye on SU messages sent through the global email where I’ll be publicising where and when I’ll be visiting each site.
In the meantime whether you’re new or a returning student enjoy your first few weeks at Uni and see you soon!'
