Chat to our students and staff about life at Essex

"Hi, I’m Lily-May, your SU President! I’m proud to be leading our big Essex family where everyone, no matter who you are, can find a second home. Essex is full of opportunities, so make the most of them - this time of your life won’t last forever! Hopefully you know this already but you're now officially a member of Essex Students' Union and the good news is that we're proud to be one of the best in the UK so you're going to get amazing support, events and opportunities in the months ahead. I can’t wait to meet you during Welcome Week, and if we don’t cross paths then, please say hello at another SU event or in the squares (be warned, I do yap)!"
