Students at Robert Gordon University have elected two presidents to lead the student union.
Edward Pollock, 21, has been elected as student president for communication and democracy, while GianPiero Franchi, 21, has been appointed as student president for sport and physical activity.
Originally from Aberdeen, Mr Pollock moved back to his home city after living in Dubai for six years and joined RGU in 2012 to embark on a degree in events management.
He said: “I’ve been actively involved with RGU Union for the last three years and I’m hugely passionate about its work and student-led projects so I felt that the role would be a great opportunity to support my peers and their initiatives, as well as strive to enhance the student experience.”
Mr Franchi, from Edinburgh, graduated in July with a first class honours degree in contemporary art practice, specialising in sculpture, and aims to use his student president role to help to improve the performance of RGU’s sports teams and learn new skills.
He said: “I’ve played football for the university throughout my studies and I am passionate about sport so I wanted to be able to further support RGU Sport and help to enhance the performance of all of our student teams on the pitch.”
