In the last week I've had extensive training for sitting on University Council, the governing body of the Univeristy. Me and Fabian were sent away to London for a day for a seminar for student governors, which gave us a good overview of the role, and the next day we had a Birmingham specific induction.
Two student sabbatical officers sit on University Council, along with a number of academics and a larger number of external lay members. The board is ultimately responsible for the University of Birmingham, and has oversight on the accounts, appointments, estates, academic strategy, recruitment and research. While most issues are discussed and developed in greater depth in the committees that sit below Council, the ultimate decision on whether to pass their reccommendations is made there.
It's going to be a very interesting year to be on Council!

I love getting comments and suggestions and getting debates going- that's why the blog's here!
But if you want to be anonymous, please give yourself a random name rather than leaving it blank.
If you leave the field blank, you'll be listed as "Anonymous", and that makes debates impossible to follow- no fun for anyone.
So get naming! :)
