My name and role:
Scarlet James – President of Open SU
What made you want to be part of our Student Leadership Team?
I’d like to see positive change for all, and students to have more equality! I also want to make a positive change, however small, to Open SU, and the vital work that’s carried out to be more aware by more students.
What are you hoping to achieve in the 2026–2028 term?
- A more user-friendly social network for OU students.
- To be more inclusive to all students, with a deep focus on trans students, younger students and BAME students.
- To ensure that we as the Open SU are modernised; with more involvement in the current popular methods of contact between communities online.
Tell us some fun facts about yourself!
I love Mainecoons, metal music, poetry, history and space! I spend an inordinate amount of time watching rocket launches in the middle of the night, whilst listening to the heavy riffs of a guitar in my favourite music! I am also intending on learning to play the drums!
And finally – what do you love about the OU?
The freedom of education for all and the ability to still reach life goals, no matter your age, race, background or beliefs.
