He’s back, he’s bold, and he’s got a mic and a manifesto — say hello to your new SU President, Paddy Quinn!

Winner of College Legend of the Year (2024) and SU Personality of the Year (2025) (yes, he’s got the trophies to prove it), Paddy is no stranger to the DBS spotlight. Whether he's hyping up a crowd, performing on stage, or crafting the perfect Insta reel — Paddy brings big energy, big laughs, and even big ideas, that he’s hoping to bring to the new academic term.

Currently entering his final year in Audio Production and Music Project Management, Paddy is passionate about creativity, community, and making DBS a place where everyone feels at home.

Paddy’s Goals for the Year Ahead
We caught up with the man himself and asked him what he's most excited about. His answer? "Making DBS a happy, welcoming space for every student — learning should be fun, and I want to keep it that way!"

Expect good vibes, fresh ideas, and an SU that’s louder, brighter, and more connected than ever.

Reflections from Paddy’s time at DBS, so far…
“I’ve loved my time at DBS — from my early days as a Clubs & Socs Officer to last year’s stint as Senior Creative Media Officer. There’ve been some mad moments (shoutout to the Awards Night where I may or may not have stripped), amazing events, international trips, and a lot of learning. I’ve grown so much and now I get to give back to the community that gave me all that. I’m buzzing!”

Paddy’s Message to Students
“To all DBS students — enjoy your summer break! Rest, explore, work, chill — whatever fills your cup. Come September, I can’t wait to welcome you back and represent you all as best I can. Let’s make this the best year yet.”
