Goodbye for Now
We hate to say goodbye, but this is the last SU update email of the academic year.
Don’t worry, we’ll still be posting regularly on our Instagram, and any SU related news can be found on our website.
The SU team will also be working hard over the summer to welcome your new student officers and get ready for your return in September. We’ll also be saying goodbye to Indi over the summer and welcoming Trinity and Janet as your new Presidents
It’s been a really exciting year for the SU, with our new building, new branding, and new structures. Most importantly, it’s been exciting to do more things with more students this year. From clubs and societies to bingo nights, reps, the pantry, parties, and just hanging out, it’s been amazing to see so many of you get involved.
We’re looking forward to doing it all over again in September.
Have the best summer, and we’ll see you next term!
We will still be available to support you during the summer break.

Indi -
As many of you know, our incredible President, Indi, is getting ready to say goodbye. Indi has been a vital part of our SU team for the last two years and has worked incredibly hard to contribute positively to the student experience. We appreciate everything she has done for the university and our students.
She has a few more weeks with us before she heads off to start a new adventure, but she wanted to send you a message before you all head home for the summer.
If you do see Indi over the next few weeks, make sure you say farewell, we know she’ll miss you all very much.
A message from Indi -
This is a little sign off for our final email of the year, and also for my final few weeks as Norwich University of the Arts Students’ Union President.
It has honestly been an honour that you chose me to represent you over the last two years. During that time, the SU has gone through a huge amount of change, and while it has definitely been exciting, amazing, challenging, and at times stressful, I’m incredibly proud of the place I’m leaving it in.
One of the best parts of this role has been meeting so many passionate, creative, and caring students who genuinely want to make a difference within the university community. Thank you to everyone who has supported the SU, attended events, shared ideas, challenged us, and helped shape what the Students’ Union has become.
I’m also incredibly excited to see the next chapter of the SU with your two new Presidents, Janet and Trinity. I have complete faith that they will do an amazing job, and I know the SU is in very safe hands moving forward.
Thank you again for trusting me with this role. It’s been a privilege to be part of your university experience, and I can’t wait to see what comes next for both the SU and all of you.
Wishing you all the best,
Indi
