    I feel as a Mature student myself that we are under represented in the university. The University of Derby is very diverse and around 30% of students are over 25. I believe it is a good time to create a new role within our union so that the voices of the mature students will be heard.

10:45pm on 18 Oct 18 I agree, there seem to be quite a few mature students around and I'm surprised there isn't one already. There are some issues which effect mature students more than others and we need a voice!
