My name and role:
Imogen Short – Sustainability Rep
What made you want to be part of our Student Leadership Team?
I was interested in and excited with the prospect to be part of making change within the OU, and to bring my experience as a student and what I’ve learnt throughout my degree to the role.
What are you hoping to achieve in the 2026–2028 term?
I am keen to genuinely make a positive impact on the OU's policies on sustainability, and to hopefully support the work that’s already been done, gaining more momentum and continuing it for future students.
Tell us some fun facts about yourself!
I have an allotment (since March 2026) and we have newts in our pond 🙂
And finally – what do you love about the OU?
I really like witnessing the commitment to higher learning from students and staff alike. It is a great institution that shows how great it is to learn, giving students the opportunities and resources to develop as individuals and to contribute more as a community
