Alex Brooks, 23, is a 2nd-year student at the University of Greenwich studying politics and has just been elected again by his peers as a part time officer for the Students’ Union. He is also the Students’ Union Advocate for the Stockwell Street redevelopment, which means “ensuring the development is as beneficial to the Students’ Union as possible.”
“The decisions and choices that staff are making about what goes in there could miss out some aspects of how it could benefit students, so my aim is to heighten the position of the Students’ Union within that building,” he says.
Since moving to Greenwich from Corby for his studies, he has become a big fan of the area. “There’s something about Greenwich, I’m a big defender of Greenwich. It’s green, it’s got immense amounts of history and loads of stuff to see. ”
And after he’s finished his studies? “For as long as I live in London, I’ll stay in Greenwich.”
Alex also runs the respected Apple news website, World of Apple.
