Hi guys,
It is all getting real now, under two weeks until around 5000 new students flock in their masses to Bournemouth.......and we cannot wait!!
Before that though, myself, James and Hannah have our Executive Committee training to embark on next week in the New Forest which will give us a chance to get to know the students who will be representing you over the next year.
If you would like to become and Exec Officer then there is the oppurtunity to get involved by standing in the Bi-Elections in October. We have lots of places on the Committee including the First Year Experience Officer, International Students Officer, Postgraduate Taught and Postgraduate Research. Just come up and we can show you how.
Us three Sabbs have also had a visit from the NUS (National Union of Students) this week in which we received some training and had detailed discussions on how to make this year not just good, but great.
Please have a look on our website http://www.subu.org.uk/ and go to the 'Building a Better Union' tab on the left where you will be able to see all of the initiatives we are taking part on this year in addition to everything else. You will see the various environmental initiatives such as Sound Impact amongst many.
If you are a returning student, then also have a look at the website as there have been many improvements to the services that we are offering to you over the summer.
Of course, even though you may not have arrived in Bournemouth yet, we are already representing students on the various University Committees that we sit on. Only this morning I was at the Academic Standards Committee explaining that student feedback is THE most important tool that the university has at their disposal. The Student Unit Evaluation (SUE) is one of the ways to get that feedback and you will hear about how useful a tool this is to staff and students throughout the year.
Anyways, enough of me........it's over to you in a matter of weeks, so fasten your seatbelt as University life really does occur in the fast lane!!
Can't wait to see everyone, hope your all excited!
Much love
