Hi everyone!

It's your President Ellie, and each month I will be posting an update letting you know what I’ve been up to recently. This can range from events I’ve been to and meetings I’ve been a part of, to decisions I have made contributions to which benefit your student experience😊

Here is my first update of the year and I will be posting every month so you can keep up to date with what I’m getting up to!

October

• Opening of the refurbished Seaborne Library and filmed a tour of the new areas which can be found on our social media platforms. 
• Attended meetings as a Grosvenor, to make sure that student experience influences conversation high up within the University. 
• Discussion with AU about disability and inclusion within the University and how to make events on campus accessible to everyone.
• First Student Council meeting of the year, introducing members to our Officer Priorities and getting their feedback. 
• Ideas workshop for SU wellbeing events throughout the year.
• Reflection meetings on September induction, collaborating with University departments to improve future inductions. 
• Meeting with Careers and Employability to discuss the services they offer to students. 
• Appointed new Student Trustees who will sit on our Trustee and Turnaround Boards to help influence change within the SU to benefit students. 
• Catch-up with WonkHE to keep up to date with issues affecting students nationally.
