A third full-time officer has resigned from the Students’ Union following the election of five new sabbatical roles.

Olivia Hunt, who was the Activities and Opportunities Officer, handed in her notice after securing “exciting new opportunities.”

The officer, who spent almost two full academic years in her position, said that it had been a “privilege to work with students, UEA, UEA Sport and the SU team.

“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities that I’ve had in this role, and UEA will always hold a special place for me.

“I’m excited to see how the new officers shape the future of the SU and wish them all the best.”

UEASU Chief Executive Officer, Jumara Stone, said that she could “not be prouder” of what Olivia had achieved in her tenure.

“She has made some incredible changes for the betterment of students and the student experience.

“From re-envisioning committee training, to launching an affordable Hyrox-style fitness event, she has always considered how to best represent students.

“We wish her all the best for her future and look forward to hearing more of her successes.”

Olivia is the third full-time officer to have left the Students’ Union this academic year, following the resignation on Chris Kershaw in November and Bhaskar Shivanna in January.

Her last day employed by the union is stated to be 16 March 2026.
