Senior Finance Officers
Behind the scenes but very much the hub of the Union is the much bemoaned finance office. This is located in the Passmore Edwards complex, Stratford Campus but the occupants have been known to venture to the other sites on occasions! ALL your Union's activities are recorded in this office at some point (the filing space has to be huge!) and requests for information are frequent and varied.
The block grant, the trading income and expenditure, the Clubs & Societies budgets, the salaries and wages, the petty cash etc. etc. etc. are all looked after in here. Although we have official opening hours of 10am-12pm and 2pm-4pm Mon/Wed/Fri, the office is staffed 8.30am-5pm Mon-Fri and we are always happy to answer any query.
Jacqueline Bourne -
Student Activities Organiser
Hi I'm Jaqs: bit of a hippie, know an infinite amount of useless knowledge, favourite colour blue, just finished reading a really good book about dead bodies (go figure) and on an unending quest to rule the universe, 'cos lets face it, no one else could do it better!
Seriously though, I'm the Students Activities Organiser, which means I'm the one who will be tearing her hair out hiring and firing mini-buses and rooms for all the clubs and societies, and basically keeping a beady eye on all you students who have taken the sensible option of getting involved with something other than your degree while you're here at UEL. I'm friendly and always approachable, and will bend over backwards if it will help you in your mission (but my back's not that strong so I'd prefer if I didn't have to). If you have any ideas about fun things for students to do, maybe you want to set up, um, a naked elephant watching society, then come and see me and we'll see what we can do.

Fred Turuka -
Communications Co-ordinator
"What on earth is a 'Communications Co-ordinator' when it's at home?"
Well... I facilitate with the Communications Officer to get as many of the 20,000 students (yes, you) to take advantage of the possibilities of communicating to each other through your Students' Union (and no, that doesn't involve two plastic cups and a bit of string).
The advantages are beneficial for students in future employment in terms of experience and I will help to train those interested in learning about print design or getting into a web content management system (ie, a program that you stick stuff into for web sites) for web design/management. But it's not all media, it's more about ideas and acting on them and getting that information out. to the student population.
So... If you are interested in getting involved, email me: turuka@uel.ac.uk
