It’s difficult to quantify what it means to run UQ Union. It’s a 108-year-old organisation has 11 outlets, $23 million in annual revenue, 250 staff, and a theatre that I cared about a lot more than anticipated.

Hey! I’m Georgia, and it’s my last week as your UQ Student Union President. Before I hang up my UQU polo for the final time, I want to take some time to reflect on the year we had. I hope that you’ve all been involved with UQU in some way this year, but if you haven’t had the chance, there are plenty of ways for you to get involved with the Union in 2020.

What a fortnight to be President of the University of Queensland Student Union. I’ve so far resisted saying anything too provocative online or in the media, for fear of catastrophising recent events. I’ve held my tongue in public, while in private voicing my serious concerns to members of the UQ administration about the fallout of the last fortnight of protests.

Congratulations to everyone for making it to the end of Semester One! Whether you’re in your first or final year, exam time is always tough and you’ve earned your break.
