Liverpool Students' Union (LiverpoolSU) is the representative body for all students studying at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) in Liverpool, England; membership is automatic upon enrolment.
The union currently is currently representative of around 21,000 students studying at LJMU, located primarily in Liverpool. The current President is Yasmin Ibrahim, who was elected for the 2017-2018 term.
Liverpool Students' Union was formerly known as Liverpool Polytechnic Students Union (LPSU) until the old Polytechnic was granted University Status in 1992, when it became Liverpool John Moores University and the Union became Liverpool Students' Union.
The student union currently has 3 membership grades which includes:
LiverpoolSU operates at 5 sites across the University, with its central base being within the John Foster Building. In May 2014 LiverpoolSU moved from their main base at the Haigh Building to the nearby John Foster Building and a number of hub sites across campus to become better placed for LJMU students.
The Haigh Building is named after long serving Union secretary, Sheila Haigh who retired in 1983, the year the building opened. Today the building is still owned by LJMU and is leased to new proprietors.
Within the John Foster Building can be found the Union's Central Office, where the Student Activituies, Marketing, Community, Advocacy, Insight and Representation teams sit. Also within the John Foster Building is The Looprevil Press and Looprevil Radio.
The Workbank, a recruitment office previously based within the Haigh Building alongside LiverpoolSU, has since relocated to Exchange Station on Tithebarn Street.
The Looprevil Press is a student newspaper at Liverpool Students' Union. It is both a student society and a part of the student media. As of May 2009, The Looprevil Press has been funded by the Liverpool Students’ Union. Looprevil Press was founded in September 2008 by students Shamit Patel & Jess Green (a former Vice President) and is currently the only student newspaper in circulation in Liverpool.
