A new era began at the University of Sydney Union today, when fourth-year Economics student, Patrick Bateman officially assumed the highly-esteemed role of USU President for the 2009-10 term. The new President replaces outgoing President Ruchir Punjabi as the face of the historic organisation, and said he is incredibly proud to serve as the head of the USU, and believes the USU’s best days are “still ahead”. “It's a privilege and honour to be able to work every day with our dedicated staff and be part of this extraordinary organisation,” said Mr Bateman. Bateman will be flanked by third-year Arts student, Courtney Tight, who replaces Alice Dixon as Vice President, Douglas Thompson, replacing Justin Hancock as Honorary Treasurer, and executive newcomer Giorgia Rossi, who takes over from Vyvyan Nickels as Honorary Secretary.
