    FAQ

    Contact your hall Action Rep or come into the Action office in the Student Union.

    Yes we log hours and we have a reward system for 10, 25, 50, 100 and 150 hours!

    Of course, you can either email the Action Chair or the project leaders of direct projects to get involved, or alternatively, come along to your department projects!

    You can run to be either one of our Hall representatives or Department Student Involvement Officers (SIO's) through the respective areas, or you can apply to be a Project Leader directly. If you really want to be involved, committee applications for next year will open after Easter.

    Jodie Evans
    Action Chair


    Hey, I’m Jodie and this will be my second year as your Action Chair. I was born and mainly raised in Lincoln, but I had a couple of years travelling around with my Dad as he was in the RAF. I have a Master’s degree in Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, which stemmed from a life of wanting to help people and hopefully one day find a cure for Alzheimer’s. In the rare time I’m not at work or out volunteering, you’ll either find me cuddled up in bed, eating cheese and watching Grey’s Anatomy or doing something arty!
