What is a School Rep?
School Reps are student volunteers elected by their peers to work with staff and students to improve the academic experience of students at the school level. There are two School Reps per school/department at each of UAL’s colleges.
By working with school/department staff and other elected representatives to raise feedback and put actions into place, they can help to influence positive change that will improve the academic experience for both current and future students!
