We held our first ever Catch Up Café which took place at Queens Specialist Building.   We invited Course Reps to feedback on their course and discuss any issues, both positive and constructive, drink tea and eat cake!  This feedback will be fed back to the University Senior Management Team.     We will be holding more Catch-up Cafes for Course Reps in the future, but if you wish to comment on your course or any University related issue, please click here to complete the online feedback form or call into the SU.   

One of our CECs, Eilidh, along with Richard Gill (Standards and Enhancement Department) trained 8 students to be Student Validation Panel Members.   These students are now qualified to sit on future Validation Panels both in the UK and overseas.  This Panel enables the University to assure the appropriateness of each programme’s academic standard and the quality of the learning opportunities for the students on the programme.  The involvement of students is vital to getting a balanced opinion and also to have a real perspective of whether students would be happy with the course presented.  This is a fantastic opportunity for students and will certainly stand out on their C.Vs.

We participated in the University’s Mental Health Day, organised in association with Student Minds.  This year’s theme was Get Active.  The SU CECs were around chatting to students and giving out keyrings with motivational, positive and inspiring quotes attached. 

The Sports Awards evening was held in the SU Bar.  Each team awarded trophies to their players acknowledging their hard work and commitment. 

The girls Hockey Team has made it through to the Tier 5 playoffs.  The girls will play Liverpool Hope in April and, if successful, will play in Tier 5 next year.  Well done and good luck girls!

With Danielle’s help, encouragement and training the Anime, Law and Christian Union Societies have once again become active after a period of inactivity.  These societies have activities and events planned for the future.     Click here for more details on Societies. 

Congratulations go to the Table Top Society who is this month’s ‘Society of the Month.’  They met with 5 other University Table Top Societies from over the North West to socialize, play games and prepare for a future tournament.  Email Sam to join this society or find out more information.

We received over 800 nominations in this year’s Student Led Teaching Awards, significantly beating last year’s total.  Shortlisting is underway and a board with the names of those shortlisted will be put in the Chancellor’s Mall.     

Students at QSB told us they missed out on having their photographs taken for the University’s Year Book.  Win: Vivienne intervened and arranged for the University photographer to visit QSB on various days so students could get their photographs taken.  

Students at QSB told us they wanted teabags in individual envelopes as it’s more hygienic.   Win: The SU relayed students’ concerns and the University catering company will now supply individually wrapped teabags.

A student came to us who had been suspended from the University. Win: The SU advised the student, met with the University and the student has been reinstated.
