Robyn Varley, who has spent the last year holding the social media position on the current Rag committee, is running in this years Exec Elections. With a theme based on ‘Robin Hood’, she is hoping to win your votes. Why are you running for this position?

This years Exec Elections sees 21 candidates campaigning for various roles on Loughborough Student’s Union Executive Team for the next academic year. VP Sport has proved to be the most popular position this year, with four candidates all wishing to win your votes, closely followed by VP Rag and VP Societies, which each have three candidates. VP Action, VP Media, VP Education, VP Union Affairs and VP College remain uncontested, but that does not necessarily mean that the five running for these positions can relax over this campaigning period, with the option of RON (re-opening nominations for this role) still…
