Hi guys,
So the rep training is finished....for now!!
It meant I managed to have a nice weekend back home for my mother's birthday (aaww!!)
But then of course back to the office for the usual and then the open day on Saturday.
There are a few things that have caught my eye the last week.....firstly the latest epetition to be submitted is a real juicy one. It is looking at the way students are viewed and taught across campus and I like this as it is broad and it questions the values and priorities of the institution which is exactly what students should be doing. You can look at the exact details of it on our epetition site which can be accessed through www.subu.org.uk
The other big thing is that on Wednesday, i am off to Boston USA!!! Thats right! I'm going to a conference where I will experience institutions in America, how they work and the good practices that we can hopefully implement here. rest assured that whilst an expensive trip, it will provide me with a wealth of ideas which i will of coursae share with you on my return.
Maybe the most interesting thing at the moment is the election of our SU President as the Advocate to the University Board on Environment and Sustainability. This is very exciting after James gave a monumentous presentation to the University Board on how they should be prioritising the environment in the Strategic Plan which will be agreed by February.
Anywho....America......not quite sun, sea and sand but more snow........show and dough mainly because its gonna be snowy, we are gonna get shown plenty of new things and finally because it is likely to set me back alot of money which I just do not have......thank heavens its pay day when I get back!!!
Cheerio....... :)
