So we are two thirds of the way through Decision term. We have finished the Big Plan and a massive ‘Thank You ‘to all who contributed. The Students’ Union aims to be the most student centred organisation in the world and the Big Plan is a huge part of that mission. Throughout the two different phases, we spoke to over 7000 students on all three campuses. From this we now have a list of issues that we know are front and centre for Essex students. This list will be taken to the Student Parliament to agree on what the Big Plan for 2020/21 will look like and will be shared with the candidates in the upcoming Leadership Race.

Nominations are now open, so if you think you could lead next year’s Big Plan, now is the moment to step up – just visit www.essexstudent.com/leadershiprace and click nominate

If you don’t fancy being a leader just yet, don’t forget to make sure you know who the candidates are and vote for the ones you want to see running the SU and leading the Big Plan - voting opens on 5th March and don’t worry if you are not on campus, you can vote online by visiting www.essexstudent.com/leadershiprace from 5th March onwards
