Helping students have the best time at the University of Reading! Students at the University of Reading are automatically members of RUSU.

From the advice staff working in the Advice, Representation & Campaigns centre to the student staff working behind the bar and the Student Officers elected by you to speak up on your behalf, we are all here to help you make the most of your student experience. As such, students are entitled and encouraged to direct the Students’ Union by attending the democracy meetings as well as voting for Stude

Hi, I'm Ellie - one of your 2026/27 Students' Union Presidents!

📸 During my time at University, I was a very active member of the Motorsports Society, where I worked as their team photographer. I also helped run the Politics Society and I even wrote a few pieces for the Spark.

My top three priorities for this year are:
1️⃣ Improve wellbeing services both in the SU and at the University
2️⃣ Improve student safety on campus, while also working with venues in town to improve anti-spiking
3️⃣ Bring the vibe back to Reading campus - better unions and better live events

✨ What I'm most excited for this year is creating equal opportunity and experiences for all students here at Reading!

Hi, I’m Bella - one of your 2026/27 Students’ Union Presidents!

📚 During my time at University, I studied English Literature and History. Alongside my degree, I also got heavily involved with B Radio and Radio Society, and was lucky enough to meet Hacker the Dog!

As your Students’ Union President, my top three priorities this year are:
1️⃣ Supporting students with their mental health and wellbeing
2️⃣ Helping students with housing
3️⃣ And fostering a wider sense of community within Reading

🫶I’m really excited to work with everyone this year. My fellow Presidents and the wider SU staff are an amazing team and I can’t wait to show you guys what I get up to while working alongside them - I think you’ll all really enjoy it!

📣 Hi, I’m Ashmit - one of your 2026/27 Students’ Union Presidents!

🏓 Outside of work, I play a lot of sports, including swimming, cricket, football, archery, horse riding, golf, softball, badminton, and table tennis!

I have lots of ideas and initiatives I’d like to work on throughout the year, but my top three priorities are:
1️⃣ Enhancing Students’ Union spaces and improving the study spaces all over the campus
2️⃣ Making the Students’ Union more transparent
3️⃣ And strengthening international student engagement

🤳The thing I’m most excited about is creating reels to showcase the wide range of opportunities, events, and services the Students’ Union has to offer, helping more students discover everything that’s available to them!
