Calling all UHI NWH students! 👋 Want to make a genuine impact while boosting your CV?

The NWH (West) By-Election is underway, and we’re looking for our next Depute President. This isn't just a title—it's a unique opportunity to take on funded part-time work experience, earn a real living wage, and lead campaigns that directly shape the student experience inside and outside the classroom.

You’ll be joining a massive community, networking with students across the Highlands and Islands, and gaining hands-on leadership experience in a campaigning membership charity. Whether you want to improve campus life or develop skills that future employers love, this is your moment to make a difference.

Check out the full details and the nomination process here: https://hisa.uhi.ac.uk/elections/
