Execs of the KSU see to the day to day functioning of the KSU.
President | Ellie Anderson | She/Her
Ellie Anderson is the KSU President for 2025-26. The President supervises the general functioning of the Union, including the student businesses, Union committees, Orientation Week and Union employees. They organize training for and support the rest of the Executive and KSU Council, while sitting on the King’s Board of Governors and many King’s committees to represent student interests.
Ellie is in her fourth year and is double majoring in Political Science and Religious Studies (meaning she can take all the fun occult classes for her degree!) When she’s not in the union office, she can be found catching up on schoolwork in the Wardy or Oxford Taproom, cross stitching in the quad, and trying to befriend the ducks in the Public Gardens.
