SU Presidents week 8 round-up

This week, we attended JCR PresCom at Balliol College, and hosted MCR PresCom too. Shermar had a meeting with the Principal of Teddy Hall, and Alisa and Seun went with Brookes Union Officers to Parliament for a National Lobby Day relating to student loan reform. Both of our MPs have committed to writing a letter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer about student loan debt. In addition to this, after national lobbying efforts, an inquiry into student loans has been won!
