Students’ Union

The ISoc is one of the societies that make up the larger Student Union body. The SU is a fully democratic institution aimed at representing and advancing students’ interests, welfare and social life. If you want to get involved in student life, make changes and voice your views, then the SU is where it’s at!

The SU holds a weekly UGM (Union General Meeting) where students’ issues are discussed, changes are proposed through ‘motions’ and matters are voted on. All LSE students are welcome, and everyone’s vote matters because this is where SU policies and direction are decided. The UGM takes place at 1pm in the Old Theatre every Thursday.

The SU is run by four Sabbatical Officers and ten Executive Officers. Sabbatical Officers are elected each year in the Lent Term. They are employed full time for a year to run the Union on a day-to-day basis. Committee members are elected in week five of the Michaelmas term. All representatives are either current or former students, and some of the representatives that were elected last year were either ISoc committee members or highly-active members of our ISoc.

The Beaver, a free weekly student newspaper, is also run by the SU. It is produced by a collective of students each term, and last year one of our committee members gained a place on the editorial staff! Copies of the newspaper can be found in the LSE SU, in the Brunch Bowl, library foyer and around campus.
