When her tenure begins, Ms Cloney will work closely with the Student Union’s Finance Manager.
Among some of Ms Cloney’s pledges are to introduce a second job fayre, introduce a shuttle bus service to the bus and train stations at the beginning and end of each term, and to produce a Society Handbook to ensure continuity for societies.
Miss Cloney, a BSc Medical Genetics student, said: “It is very surreal at the moment. Currently quite in shock.”
Runner up Sion Durham said: “To be honest I feel absolutely amazing as long as somebody won.
“I think Ms Cloney has done exceptionally well. Although I’m second that doesn’t matter to me…hopefully she will take on what I’ve done.”
