Faculty Reps

Faculty Reps represent the issues and priorities of students in their faculty to staff at both faculty and university level. They do this by gathering feedback from Course Reps and other students, chairing Faculty Student Staff Liaison Committee meetings, joining Bristol SU’s Student Representatives' Assembly alongside SU democratic events and some Faculty Reps also represent students at University committees like Senate.
