My role is to act as the link between the student body and the Corporation ensuring that the concerns and issues of the students are represented at the highest level, Dunstable College is a diverse and exciting place to study, and it’s one of my roles to remind those in charge that it is the students who make this happen. I have been consulted in the drawing up of this charter that outlines what the College offers and expects of you. If you have any comments or feedback on this Student Charter I would appreciate it so I can voice your feelings to the management.
