Your Student Governors

The Cornwall College Board of Governors comprises twenty governors including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal, student and staff members. Governors are collectively responsible for determining the strategic direction of the College and oversight of its activities as well as ensuring the effective and efficient use of resources, the solvency of the institution and safeguarding its assets.

Representing your views is your student governor, voted for by students:

HE Student Governor

More

My name is Nik Ramsay-Trease and I’m currently studying for a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling. I have an academic background in Psychology & Neuroscience and throughout my career have had experience of Senior leadership roles in the IT industry. I believe in fostering a growth mindset and champion learning and development in higher education. I’m delighted to have been offered the opportunity to volunteer as a Student Governor representing HE this year and I am so excited to learn with and from my fellow students over the course of my appointment.

I believe it indispensable that we should all feel safe, valued, empowered, and respected in our place of study, and my hope is that I may be able to use this post to advocate alongside my fellow students as you pursue the aims that matter to you.

Your Students’ Union representatives

The Cornwall College Student Union (CCSU) represents all students across the whole college. All students are automatically members of CCSU and it is one way of having your voice heard at Cornwall College.
