- Be an official representative of one of the Centres and the voice of the student body
- Help to forge a community spirit and build links throughout LSHTM's global community
- Have a platform to develop your interpersonal, communication and teamwork skills
- Gain opportunities for academic and social networking with fellow students and staff
- Gain an in-depth understanding of topic area outside of the curriculum

SLOs can contribute to Centres in a number of ways, depending on your particular set of skills/capabilities and preferences.
Responsibilities

- Produce comms required by the Centre e.g newsletter, blog post/website article, content for social media
- Support Centres with organising internal and external events e.g careers fairs, seminars, student networking events

- You may be asked to attend Centre management or steering committee meetings to be the voice of the student body

Commitment

You will be supported in this role by your chosen Centre’s staff and Comms & Engagement staff.
