Meet the Team
A message from your SERC Student Govenor, Aibhilin Gallagher.
"I am looking forward to leading the team of elected Student Officers to make your time at SERC the best that it can be. As Student Governor my focus will be on promoting good mental health services for students as well as supporting the establishment of LGBTQ+ groups. Being involved in the SU is good fun and provides opportunities to make new friends and to develop useful skills."
