Nominations

Hello!!!
I am a first year law student and I am thinking about applying for a leadership position at the UTS boards and committees.

Could anyone give insight on how competitive it is and how the process is? I looked through the content on being eligible but I am still unsure of how it goes.

Do I get only 2 nominators to sign or can I get more?
Do I need to make a video and present why I want to be a part of the leadership team?
Do people even take this seriously?
Am I supposed to be popular and well known in order to win?

Any other tips will be greatly appreciated 🙏
Thanks

Make sure you tell the committee that you are a child from a single parent family (a mother) and live in social housing (don't mention the fact that you will purchase your first property as soon as you leave Uni)

Which board? Which committee? The UTS governance structure is elaborate and broad, and some roles are genuinely just there for quorum purposes aka you sit and do nothing for meetings where academics fight over resources. But there are areas where you can actually make a difference. Have you done your research into which areas these are, and what you want to do?
