Jack Stacey
"He was Ethics Officer, an NUS delegate and part of societies across the Uni, including Labour Students where he was Chair, he’s been a friendly face and is always helpful whenever someone needs a hand, made student involvement in SU policy easy to get into."
Shona Johnson
"Whilst university mental health services are now under external review she is currently students main point of contact, which is an incredibly tasking job both physically and psychologically, she is passionate, caring, and too often overlooked in recognition of her numerous achievements. Shona has left the union in a better state than she found it, students always came first, often above her own welfare."
Emily Maybanks
"Not only is she the creative writing section editor as well as one of the deputy editors, she also spends a lot of time helping to design the Waterfront each month, thus ensuring that the paper looks its best. Emily also inspired me to not only write for the paper, but become a section editor myself and therefore I am continuing as the new study abroad section editor next year."
Bronwyn Satterly
"Student Staff, events team, receptionist, marketing assistant. She has been invaluable in helping with the running of larger annual events such as Fresher’s week, Varsity, Summer Ball as well as the weekly GWA sports nights. Her involvement with the University Netball team alongside her studies and her work for the SU has proven she is also a fantastic team player with plenty of commitment and motivation to drive the best results from others around her.Because of all her hard work she will always be welcomed back to Swansea Student’s Union and feel there is no better way to show this than to present her with Honorary Lifetime Membership."

In addition, he got our club involved with the community i.e. with local litter picking.
