Taylor's work has left a permanent mark on our university community, and we are immensely proud to have them as an integral part of our student body."
"My experiences with in Cardiff SU have been absolutely incredible. It's allowed me access to so many opportunities that I wouldn't have been able to have otherwise, meet so many incredible people from places I wouldn't have expected and find new passions outside what I thought I had.”
"I really started engaging with the SU when I was a first year, but I really think there's no best time to do it, even if you're only in Cardiff for a term or its your last year! The societies that I am involved in have brought me so much happiness and made my time at Cardiff Uni so much more enjoyable."
