Board of Institutional Representatives
The Board consists of student representatives from institutions around the United Kingdom and internationally. Each IR is responsible for promoting ULAB's activities at their institution, as well as representing the interests of undergraduate students at their institution within ULAB. We currently have representatives for seven institutions.
Want to become an IR for your institution? We'd love to have you on board! Send us an email explaining why you'd like to join us: [email protected].
