Robert Sarfo is the first student at the London School of Pharmacy to have served two consecutive terms as Joint President of the Students' Union.Whilst in the final two years of his Mpharm degree, he has dedicated masses of time and energy into the role.

Since coming into office, Rob's primary aim has been to raise the profile of an ailing Students Union by working hard along with his team to get more students involved in its activities. A wider programme of social events has been very succesful. As Union President, Rob Sarfo initiated the tradition of the florence cup challenge (A series of sports games and quizzes pitching second,third, and fourth year teams against each other, with each team required to recruit the assistance of freshers- an inspired way to get new students involved)

During his Presidency he oversaw the success of the University Football team affectionately known as the yellow army working closely with ardent footballer and team captain Tom Briston. This resulted in the promotion from the lower leagues for the first time in over a decade.

It hasn't been all fun and games though. One of Rob's first undertaking as President was to update the SU constitution to reflect the current climate:following ratification of the new constitution, he has been keenly implementing and prompting the amendments.

When asked about the benefits of being SU President, he said' Getting to know some members of staff at a level not accessible to all students', and then went on to quote perks such as enjoying the retreat of the Presidents' Office and attending Charter dinners. [1]
