DIT Students' Union - DIT Students' Union Post Review

DIT Students' Union Post Review

A Governing Council made up of Class Representatives from across the College, determines official policy, co-ordinates the work of the Sabbatical officers and reviews the activities of the organisation, on a monthly basis. The activities of the Students' Union have been aligned into 6 broad units which are based in the local SU offices across the College:

  • Academic Affairs
  • Chief Operations
  • Communications
  • Services (Events, Marketing, Clubs & Societies and Facilities)
  • Student Affairs
  • Trading

Continuing professional staff, specialising in their own area of expertise, has replaced the Sabbatical officer "jack of all trades and master of none" philosophy. Instead the Sabbatical officers are free to lead the organisation and drive the policy agenda, rather than to administer it.

Famous quotes containing the words union, post and/or review:

    The admission of the States of Wyoming and Idaho to the Union are events full of interest and congratulation, not only to the people of those States now happily endowed with a full participation in our privileges and responsibilities, but to all our people. Another belt of States stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
    Those undreamt accidents that have made me
    Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,
    Being but a part of ancient ceremony
    Notorious, till all my priceless things
    Are but a post the passing dogs defile.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Americans have internalized the value that mothers of young children should be mothers first and foremost, and not paid workers. The result is that a substantial amount of confusion, ambivalence, guilt, and anxiety is experienced by working mothers. Our cultural expectations of mother and realities of female participation in the labor force are directly contradictory.
