Hello students! We are Pedram and Huma, your SU Co-Presidents for 2023/24. Nice to meet you!

The Co-Presidents of the SU are elected each year after spending some time as students at ULaw. We work full time to help ensure that students are represented within the university, from day to day operations to the most senior meetings. 

With the support of a team of staff, we act on student feedback, work on campaigns and events, and try to make positive change for current and future students.

If you have any questions, ideas or feedback for us, we'd love to hear from you, please pop us an email at SU-CoPresidents@law.ac.uk.

 

Students' Union President

Huma Hasan - Students' Union Co-President

Hello, wonderful students. I'm Huma, your friendly companion and partner-in-crime as the co-president of the Academic Affairs in our Student Union. My main goal is to support you. But let me break my goals down for you in a down-to-earth way.

First things first, let's improve the way we communicate with the university. I'll be advocating on your behalf to the academic staff, the finance and student info teams. We should get quicker and better responses. No more waiting around forever, I’m here to shake things up and make sure your voice is heard.

Now, mental health is super important. Enhancing the resources available to you is a top priority for me. I'll shine a spotlight on the counselling department and wellbeing service, so that you can get the support you need to thrive. After all, a healthy mind is essential to success.

But I’m not stopping there. I'm committed to empowering everyone, including our international students, students with disabilities, and BAME groups. I’ll work closely with the university to boost pass rates and make resources more accessible. Together, we'll knock down barriers and create a level playing field for everyone.

So, my friends, let's embark on this amazing adventure together. We'll foster growth, collaboration, and most importantly have fun along the way. I'm here for you – I am ready to listen, support, and make sure your university experience is the best it can be. Get in touch with me at SU-CoPresidents@law.ac.uk / huma.hasan@law.ac.uk.

Before I sign off, let's share a welcoming joke: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! Laughter is good for the soul.

Thanks for reading,

Huma

Pedram Bani Asadi - Co-President Union Development

Hello everyone, it's great to meet you. My name is Pedram, and I am one of your Co-Presidents for the Student Union for 2023/24. This is my second year in the role.

I'm based at the Birmingham campus, where is studied my LPC with LLM. Before this, I studied Law with Politics at the University of Leicester. So far, I have lived in 4 different countries: Iran, U.A.E, and Sweden. From having Omani coffee in fenjans to having Fika in Göteborg. I love to travel and learn about new cultures and traditions. In my spare time, I play the electric guitar, snowboard, sing, and play a lot of FIFA!

It's a privilege to represent you, the students, on all university matters. This role is here to amplify your voice to the highest levels of the University, to make sure that your concerns are heard, understood and addressed so that you can get a university experience that you will never forget.

What I want to do for you: 

• Offer free sanitary products, safe sex products and personal safety alarms on all campuses. It is every student's right to have access to these products and feel safe

• Provide a transparent report to students about how your tuition fees are spent because you deserve to know how the University is spending your money

• Advocate for Ulaw to declare a climate emergency and pledge to follow the UN climate agreement to protect future generations

• Give you monthly updates on the tasks and achievements of the Co-Presidents and the SU team so you can remain up to date

• Be present through consistent content on social media and frequent visits to your campus 

• Support the development and growth of clubs and societies and advocate for online revision sessions, and support 

• Be open with you every step of the way and meet with any students who want to meet, anytime and anywhere

I would love to hear from you and hear what you think about the University, what needs to be better and what you would like to see from your SU. So, if you see me on campus, come say hi and let's chat about how to make our University the best for you! Alternatively, my email is SU-CoPresidents@law.ac.uk / pedram.bani-asadi@law.ac.uk.
