Officer Q&A

2 | P a g e Student Council was given the opportunity to question the Student Officers in areas they saw fit. Topics for discussion were the forthcoming AGM motions in particular around Tutu’s and the proposed fifth Officer role creation.

Council was attended by Susa Lea and Iain Creagh from KCL who spoke on the College’s position regarding the proposed merger of the School of Medicine and the School of Biomedical Science. As a result the motion 1005 was debated immediately after they left.
