This #trusteesweek Undeb Aber is thrilled to welcome Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor (Students' Unions) at Wonkhe, to our Trustee Board.
Jim is one of the UK's leading voices on student experience, higher education policy and Students' Unions. As Associate Editor (Students' Unions) at Wonkhe, he writes extensively on student experience, university governance and regulation, and leads Wonkhe's work with Students' Unions across the UK, including its popular European study tours.
His career began supporting student leaders and Students' Unions before moving into senior roles at the National Union of Students, where he led work on SU development, campaigns and political strategy. He later served as Chief Executive of the Students' Union at UEA and has held numerous trustee and governor positions across the higher education and voluntary sectors.
Jim joins a Trustee Board that combines a wide range of expertise, experience and a shared commitment to Aberystwyth. Alongside four other External Trustees Alwena Hughes-Moakes, Alan Roberts, Bob Hart and Dan Fow, our External Trustees are appointed to bring a range of relevant knowledge, expertise and skill to our Board.
Tomos Akash Padel our newly elected Student Trustee (UG) joins Tristan Wood our elected Student Trustee (PG) and together with the Union's four full-time elected officers, Francesco Lanzi, Alice Leroy, Gwenno Roberts and Laura Young, they ensure that the student voice and experience remains a priority for the Board while working to ensure that Aber students love student life.
Trustees Week is an opportunity to recognise the contribution trustees make in helping charities and membership organisations deliver positive impact for the communities they serve.
