Student Experience and Winton Forum Meetings

I attended the Student Experience Committee Meeting yesterday in the main conference room in Poole House yesterday along with several other representatives from our Union and found it a rewarding and useful experience. We managed to get across a number of issues that students have raised, such as buses, timetabling, ALN, myBU, e-registration and accomodation. It's great that the committee are aware of these pressing issues and the feedback we received was positive so we hope to see a number of positive changes in the coming weeks.

Last Wednesday I was at the Winton Community Forum Meeting, where the main topic of discussion was the problems associated with large numbers of students living in the local community. It certainly was quite an interesting meeting, with a few more-militant attendees. However, it seemed to have a positive outcome and I know those of us from exec who attended did our best to improve the image of the Students' Union and the University to local residents.

Some of you may have seen that a Christmas meal has been kindly arranged particularly for our postgrad community by Mory Cisse. There's a Facebook event set up for this and places are available on a first-come, first-saved basis. Find out more information here. Stay tuned for more events coming next term!

That's it for this week, more updates coming soon. In the meantime, feel free to e-mail me at any time at supostgrad@bournemouth.ac.uk.
