Apply to Be a Student Trustee in Leadership Elections 2026

If you've ever wondered what it takes to shape the future of Imperial College Union, here's your chance to find out. We're looking for two elected student trustees to join our Board of Trustees, and nominations are closing tomorrow (Friday 27 February) at 12pm.

How many student trustees does Imperial College Union have?

Two student trustees are directly elected in the Leadership Elections each year, and two are appointed by the Board of Trustees. These are in addition to the four Officer Trustee positions and the Union Council Chair, who also sit on the Board.

Yesterday, the Board of Trustees held its third meeting of the academic year and reappointed current appointed student trustees Lilia Evans and Sai Venkateshwaran for further one-year term, subject to Union Council ratification.
