Ngaire Bogemann
President
My name is Ngaire (she/her), I’m a proud Indigenous woman and I’m absolutely stoked to be your NUS President for 2024. I’m studying a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne, where I have been actively involved in student unionism for four years including time as UMSU Women's Officer.
Every student who studies in Australia deserves an education that places them at the forefront, not their economic value. Every student deserves an education that doesn’t force them to live in poverty or leave them with a mountain of debt. In 2024, that’s what the NUS will fight for - for a tertiary education system that is built for students, not for profit.
Jonathan De La Pena
General Secretary
My name is Jonathan De La Pena and I am honoured to be your National General Secretary for 2024. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Arts/Law at Deakin University Geelong and, prior to my current term, had been an active student union representative at Deakin for four years.
I am excited to be part of the NUS as we go into 2024, a year of opportunity as we face the University Accords, Australia's largest tertiary education reform this decade. This is our opportunity to promote the student activism movement, to continue our fight for the basic rights and welfare of Australian university students, both domestic and international. I am excited to work with both my fellow Office Bearers and student representatives from across Australia to bring positive lasting change for students in the tertiary education sector.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to get in touch through my email
or my number; and if you happen to see myself or any other members of the NUS team don’t be a stranger and say hi!
