Elections

As a student-led organisation, elections are run throughout the year to determine which students and former students take on a leadership role at USWSU. Any student can stand and vote in all of our elections.

Hi, my name is Jamal Abdilahi, I am the new SU President. I ran for this role as I believe I would be a great fit for the position after previously being VP Activities and have had a great experience with the sports and societies at USW. I have previously graduated from USW in Sports Coaching and Development.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and partaking in my main sport which is Rugby. I am also a huge fan of music whether it be Old School R&B, Rap/Hip-Hop or Motown.
