The VP Board is crucial to ensuring that the views of the Student Reps are reflected in the work carried out by the Student Executive. Lastly, the VP Board gets to organise the reps' socials.
Conveners

Conveners of each of the QMU's student committees are responsible for the successful running of their respective committees. These are some of the most impactful positions available within the QMU as the Committees organise most of our services, events and campaigns. Many students first experience of becoming involved with the QMU is attending one of the committees so Conveners have to be friendly and approachable whilst also having the ability to chair meetings and ensure that volunteers are performing the tasks given to them.
