Hi, my name is Matt, and I am your Education Officer for this year.
I first came to Keele in 2019 from Guildford in Surrey to study English and American Literature. I first got involved in the Students’ Union when I joined Causal Gaming in my first year. Since then, I become more involved by going to Union General Meetings (UGMs), becoming a Student Voice Rep and being a part of Union Assembly.
I am interested in video games and rock climbing. I have also previously been social secretary and technician for the Casual Gaming Society and have been Treasurer and then Captain of the Mountaineering Club, which I first joined in 2nd year after spending my first year in lockdown during the pandemic.
My role is to support your studies and ensure that you get the most out of your experience at Keele. I am responsible for a number of projects, including Student Voice Representatives, whereby your opinions can be acted on at both a course and school level. My role also includes making sure that your voice is heard and acted on, as well as providing change to university processes, including Exceptional Circumstances.
One thing you wish you had known before you came to Keele
I wish I had known about opportunities like being a voice rep or volunteering before I arrived, as I only found out about these things in my second year and I hugely regret not knowing about voice reps in my first year, as I would have joined.

- Becoming a Voice Rep or a Faculty Officer
