YOUR Students’ Union is launching Forums, a meeting where you can tell us what really matters to you and how your university experience is going. Any student is welcome to attend and be part of our Education, Wellbeing and Activities Forums. Each will be run by our Presidents, with you at the heart of the discussions and change.  

At each Forum you will be able to:

• meet with YOUR SU Presidents and ensure they’re representing you
• tell us what you really think on matters that affect YOUR University experience
• have your say on campaigns and influence future policies
• propose ideas for change and mandate YOUR Presidents to make them happen
• create and shape future SU opportunities which have an impact to students’ lives

Through the year at some forums we’ll be inviting guest speaks in to talk to students and offer extra training and opportunities to develop skills and knowledge. These will be advertised via the website and social media.

If you cannot make a Forum, YOU CAN still be part of the discussion and create change.

Officers will be updating their website pages with what they’ve been up to and sharing info on their social media on a regular basis. You can at any time, ask questions to them about their work by emailing yourvoice@sunderland.ac.uk. These will be raised for you at our Forums.

Make It Happen is also available as YOUR chance to make change. You can, at any time, propose an idea for change. All you need to do is gain enough support from fellow students (30 likes). If students agree and support you, YOUR SU will action it!

 

Education Forum

The Education Forum is where you can bring ideas which will enhance YOUR academic success and ensure better representation across the University. Students who want to champion student voices are welcome to join as a network to develop ideas, launch campaigns and discuss the following topics:

• Student voice and ensuring you’re represented
• Learning and teaching quality
• Assessment marking and feedback quality
• Hidden and added costs within courses
• Resources and academic literature availability

Forums are inclusive, safe spaces for all students to attend and feel welcome. All students will be given the opportunity to have a say on matters raised and a platform to raise ideas. As part of the Forum, members of SU staff who support each area of activity will be present to ensure the smooth running of Forums and to answer technical questions about the Students’ Union.
