Voting for 2018 Election from Schools to Senate
Voting will open on Monday 21 May 2018 to elect colleagues from four Schools to the Senate.
The recent call for nominations received an excellent response, although one School (EPS) unfortunately did not fill all of its vacancies in this round. There will therefore be further opportunity for EPS Staff to be nominated.
