Class Reps are the largest group of volunteers in DIT. Your involvement can make a massive difference in DIT, and you form the basis of the democracy of our Union in DITSU. So what is a class rep? What makes them so important? How do you run?!
Well, you can find out below!
Every year, at least 500 class reps are democratically elected by their class with the help of the officers in DITSU.
Fill out the nomination form here.
What is involved?
Your role includes:
- Being a link to your class, your lecturers and with DITSU

Is it Hard Work?
