Summer's Priorities
I created a campaign showing students how they can access these services and have had meetings to discuss student opinion around the services in order for them to be more student friendly.
I have held board game nights once a month, seasonal quizzes for Halloween, Christmas and Easter, as well as a craft event for St Patrick's Day. I am currently working with the PVC for Research and Knowledge exchange to make more events for you!
Society Spotlight has been created for societies to see what is going on from other societies, any updates from us and a quick hello from myself.
I am currently in the process of meeting with sports teams to gather feedback on the support they are receiving. I have also Chaired my final Club Connect Forum in collaboration with the AU in order to gain student voice from the different sports teams and clubs. I am working with Ali in order to make Club Connect Forums better next year. I have attended a BUCS AGM to make sure the Chester voice is heard and represented.
As we currently do not have a Disabled Students' Officer on our Student Council, I am working with our Trans, Non-binary, Intersex & Gender Identity Students' Officer, Jason, to better understand accessible routes from different campuses and to work with the university to improve accessibility for all students.
