Who is IADTSU?
Who is IADTSU? You are.
As a full or part-time student of the Institute of Art, Design, and Technology, you are automatically a member of the IADT Students’ Union.
IADTSU is Your Union, a democratic body that exists to represent your interests, largely through the work of your Students’ Union Officers & Class Reps.
Your SU Officers include 3 Sabbatical (or full-time) Officers and 2* Part-Time (currently studying) Officers, each of whom are students elected by students, for 1 Academic Year, to represent a particular area of focus as laid out in the IADTSU Constitution.
IADTSU’s Officers are overseen by Comhairle (or Class Rep Council), a body of elected Representatives from every course which meets at least four times during the Academic Year to hold officers accountable, vote on policy and mandates, and shape the work of IADTSU more generally.
You can get in touch with our team via Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iadtsu or send general queries to president@iadtsu.com.
