As your elected Officer Trustee I'm always happy to talk to students and help out where I can.
Hi, I'm Holly Lloyd, Your VP (Education). Here's a little about myself - I'm from North Wales and came to Derby to study a Creative Expressive Arts course. I'm a major cat lover but unfortunately find myself allergic With my creative background I aim to make your interactions with the Student Union a more fun and interactive experience. Be sure to keep an eye out for me in and around our many campuses and feel free to come into the office for a chat.
I aim to encourage and create more engagement with the Union, ensure that students feel represented and seen with more Union representation and presence at other campuses, and to secure better funding and support for field work and placement studies.

As Vice President (Education), my focus is on enhancing student representation, increasing the visibility of academic support services, and amplifying the voices of our student body to ensure their needs are met.
As the first term of the academic year draws to a close, I am proud to reflect on the initiatives and achievements I have been working on. Here’s an overview of everything I have been working on so far, from creating new possibilities to promoting diversity and inclusion.
As the first term comes to a close, it’s a great opportunity to share some of the work I’ve been doing across my manifesto and the wider VP (Welfare) remit.
As I moved on from Vice President Education to President, this first term has been both bittersweet and exciting. I’m grateful for the experiences that prepared me for this role and thrilled to lead with a fantastic team dedicated to supporting and empowering our students.
