Get Involved...

With our new constitution we are trying harder then ever to get students involved in what we are doing as a students' union. So if you think we aren't focusing on the area that your concerned about then don't hesitate to come and see me in the students union and let me know, if no one come to tell me they are unhappy with what we are doing how am I suppose to know?

One great way to get your voice heard about an issue is to come along to one of our senate meetings and tell us what it is that you want, don't panic it sounds fancy but its basically a meeting of students who you have elected (either to the union executive or via the course rep system) who will decide what areas the SU should be focusing there time and effort. If you do have an idea for a campaign we should run, like one that is due for the next senate meeting is a motion to get the SU to lobby the university about getting Wednesday afternoons free for sport and if the senate approves it then that is exactly what the SU will do. Or if you just feel that as an SU we don't offer a service you think we need, like a radio station, then the senate is the place to get backing for that idea and to get the SU mandated to make that change.

If you are interested then please email me with what it is you think we are doing wrong or aren't doing at all, or if you really want you can let me know what you think we are doing well, even if your not sure about how to deal with the issue i will let you know and help you to get your ideas/issues heard and hopefully dealt with.
