It's really varied. Co-Presidents will participate in a range of SRUC committees and Boards, to make sure the voice of the student is heard. They will work with class reps and chair Campus Councils in their Faculty. There will be the opportunity to focus on your area of interest (e.g. education, welfare, or events), get involved with external agencies, or lead on campaigns too.
