EspañolCOALITION OF HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS IN SCOTLAND
The 'Coalition of Higher Education Students in Scotland' (known as 'CHESS') is a body representative of students in Scotland founded in 2001 by the Students' Associations of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and St Andrews Universities, and Glasgow University's Students' Representative Council.
CHESS was founded in 1999 out of the previous Scottish Ancients Group[1] when the Students' Association at Strathclyde demonstrated an interest in membership. Membership of CHESS is not incompatible with membership of the National Union of Students although both are essentially representative organisations.
The goal of CHESS is to provide a national forum for dialogue and policy enhancement on issues affecting students. The body provides a channel for representing the views of students in Scotland to national and governmental bodies.
The CHESS Executive Committee is made up of two representatives from each member institution, usually the President and one other. There are two office bearers in CHESS; the Convenor, who chairs meetings and represents CHESS externally, and the Secretary, who deals with all administrative matters.
CHESS has gone through extended periods of dormancy, but is still in existence.
