Meet Your Full-Time Officers (FTOs)
Get to know the leaders who represent you ahead of the 25/26 academic year.
Full-Time Officers (AKA. FTOs) are the top student leaders here at LUSU. They work hard throughout the year to ensure your student experience is as good as it should be. That could be through student-led campaigns, hosting events, or representing the student demographic on both a university-level and beyond.
You can learn more about FTOs, and how they are voted in, here.
