Meet Freya: SU President 

Hi, my name is Freya (she/her), and I am your new President for the 25/26 academic year. I grew up in a small village called Tibshelf in Derbyshire. I chose Huddersfield University because it was one of the few that offered my joint course in Sociology and Psychology. I also appreciate the close-knit feel of our small town and the convenient layout of our campus.

In my second year, I served as the social secretary for the Thai boxing sports club. I pursued the position of Equity Officer because I love working with people and helping them. Thank you all for giving me this opportunity!

Meet Bethany: Activities Officer 

Hello, my name is Bethany (she/her), and I am your new Activities Officer for the 25/26 academic year. You may recognise me from the pole fitness committee or from participating in various other clubs and societies. This year, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Fashion Design with Textiles, so I certainly know how it feels to be a student at Huddersfield University. 

I am very excited to work on improving student engagement across all societies and creating more collaborations across campus. Thank you for this opportunity, and I look forward to making this year amazing for everyone.

Meet Irfan – Education Officer

Hi, my name is Irfan (he/him), and I'm your Education Officer for the 25/26 academic year. I hold an MSc in International Business with Project Management. I've been actively involved in various roles within the Students’ Union, including as an Events Assistant and Retail Assistant, which have given me valuable insights into student life. 

As a volunteer Peer Supporter at the HSU Advice Centre, I developed a passion for listening to people and understanding their concerns. This role allowed me to connect with many students and offer support and guidance. 

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve as your Education Officer. My goal is to ensure every student feels heard and represented. Thank you for your trust and support. Together, we can create a more inclusive and empowering environment for everyone.

Meet Dobby: Equity Officer 

Hiya! I'm Dobby (she/her), and I am proud to be your SU Equity officer for 2025/26! I'm originally from Bradford and come from a Hindu-Bangladeshi background. I've always been quite chatty and from a young age I've loved connecting with people, sharing stories and speaking out when things aren't fair, which is why I did my degree in Journalism.

I was previously the social secretary and then co-president of the Pole Fitness Society in my last two years of study. This empowered me to create some incredible friendships and my confidence as an individual grew massively. The opportunities I gained from being involved with my society helped me get to where I am now.

I'm beyond grateful to have this opportunity as Equity Officer. I will do everything I can to ensure we all feel empowered and inspired on our beautiful campus this year!
