Academic Community Rep

We are looking for three organised, engaged, and community-focused Academic Community Reps to work within our Student Engagement Team to support student representation on each campus.

Who are we?

We do this by representing, supporting and developing Edinburgh Napier students to be successful in their studies; to try out new things; to engage in, and contribute to, university life; to be healthy and happy; to bring about positive change; and to have fun.
