Chat to our students and staff about life at Essex

"Hi everyone! I’m Alex and I’ll be your SU President this year! I am so happy that you will be joining us at Essex this year. You are about to embark on a new chapter full of change, new experiences and maybe one too many all-nighters. More importantly, you are coming to a place you’ll get to call your second home. Your chosen family. Your SU will be there every step of the way to make sure that your experience here at Essex is the best it can possibly be. I can’t wait to meet you all in a couple of weeks! If you ever want to have a chat or have any ideas you’d like to take action on, don’t doubt to reach out! Wish you the best :)"
