URN

On Tuesday 10th March, The Pulse headed down to the fiercest question time of the year, on Sutton Bonington campus, to find out how the candidates would deal with the student's questions.

Our presenting team of Meg, Rhiannon and Sam posed questions to the candidates that you, the students, wanted asking and commentated on how they felt the evening was going.

They also caught up with Jake Richards, chair of the SB Guild:

The team then reflected on how important they felt it was candidates were put through Question Times, and what they would be considering throughout the evening:

PRESIDENT

The Presidential candidates were put through their paces, with the panelists talking about whether sexual consent classes should be compulsory and outlining how they would work with the SB Guild if elected to office:

EDUCATION

The crowd at Sutton Bonington tested out the Education Officer candidates, asking about how they would support the students on satellite campuses and deal with lecture captures in future:

The Activities Candidates

On Monday 9th March, we welcomed the Activities Candidates into the URN Studios for the first instalment of The Elections Show. Our show designed to get to know the candidates behind the manifestos. We've seen their manifestos, we've seen them around campus...but who are they?!

First up, we played CamPAIN with the candidates. The candidates had to pass around an electric ball whilst unravelling our Society acronyms!

Next, we played 'The Biggest Twit' - taking a look at the Candidates' social media antics since they joined the sites. Also featuring a nice little Live Lounge performance from Mr Rob Jennings.

Finally, we spoke to the Candidates about what they were most looking forward to this week, including an impromptu rap and beatbox from Harry Turnbull and Yaks...

Whilst you're here, why not check out Episode #1 of 'The Candidate' - Episodes 2, 3 & 4 will be released on the Elections Show throughout the week.
