Having been on various committees, I understand just how much hard work students put into their roles and want to be able to share their achievements with the wider ICSM community.

  • More frequent social media posts to update students on SU activity
  • Update the ICSMSU website and collaborate with the rest of the SU to ensure the wider ICSM community understands their roles and objectives
