The ULL Student Council renews its presidency after holding elections

Last Friday, November 6, the Plenary Session of the Student Council of the University of La Laguna elected Gabriel Suárez González as the new president of the highest student representative body of the academic institution, in an extraordinary session attended by around 50 of its members.

A picture from the session.

Suárez, a student in the Master's program in Communication Innovation, was part of the outgoing Student Council leadership as vice president and head of the Student Participation Secretariat. Her appointment follows an election process in which three candidates participated, each of whom had the opportunity to present their main work plans for the next term to the full Council.

The election was preceded by an electoral debate held on Thursday the 5th at the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism, organized by the Student Council in coordination with the Electoral Commission. The meeting, moderated by Moisés Rodríguez, the Council's first spokesperson, allowed participants to learn about and compare the proposals of the three candidates on issues related to student representation and governance, university policy, institutional relations, and the defense of student rights and services.

The renewal of the Presidency marks the end of the leadership team headed by Bentchey J. Martín Martín, who assumed the position in December 2024, after nearly two years at the helm. This change opens a new chapter for the Student Council, ensuring the continuity of its work in representing, promoting, and defending the rights and interests of university students.

The inauguration of Gabriel Suárez González will take place next Friday, November 13, at 12:30 p.m. in the Aula Magna (Rector's Hall) of the Central Building of the University of La Laguna. The ceremony will also mark the end of the outgoing board's term and formalize the change in leadership of the Student Council.
