Wes Streeting for National President

THANK YOU!

I am delighted to have been elected as NUS National President for 2008/9.

I stood for National President on the strength of my record and my ability to tackle the significant challenges ahead. My extensive experience as a strong student leader, my unparalleled record as an effective campaigner of fighting and winning for students, and my vision for our National Union demonstrate my ability to transform NUS into the respected, influential and powerful National Union that students want - and need - it to be.

This is a manifesto for the membership – students whose rights are under constant attack and the students’ unions that fight to defend them. I’m looking forward to implementing it, as NUS’ new Campaigner-in-Chief.
