Departmental Reps

Departmental Reps are responsible for canvassing views from within different departments.

Not all departments have a rep. If you wish to take on the role (it involves sporadic emails, knowing who is a member in your department, and in some departments arranging meetings of members/reporting concerns to the Exec) please contact the President and UCU Aber Office.
