“The Festival of Student Governance helped me to become a better governor. How we can make decisions that are in the interests of students today & students in years to come.”

This November Student Governors from around the country will be coming together at the Festival of Student Governance. We spoke to last year’s Student Governor for Exeter College, Tom Matthew.

“I actually felt engaged & involved, listened to, regularly spoken with & acknowledged, it really was brilliant for me.”
