Student board directors are currently enrolled students at the University of Sydney and USU members who want to make a difference. 

 

Collectively, student board directors are responsible for governing the USU, developing and reviewing policies, improving programs, events and services, creating new spaces and managing the USU’s finances. 

Our student Board is made up of 14 directors: 11 who are current students and USU members elected by their peers, 2 who are appointed by the University Senate, and the Immediate Past President of the Board.

Board Directors are elected in May each year, and serve a 2-year term, with roughly half the board ending their terms each year (5 in even numbered years, 6 in odd numbered years).

Eastern Avenue and other parts of the University become a flurry of colour and campaigning as prospective Board candidates promote their ideas and policies to improve student life.
