The Reading Rep
Issue 8
Celebrations & Send-offs Debate – it’s something we know well here in RUSU and it’s on the minds of the public at the moment as the recent leaders debate was televised on the BBC and we draw closer to the General Election on June 8th. It got us thinking about our leaders here at RUSU and Academic Representation with their many debates that have taken place over the year. It’s something our full time officers and reps are all too familiar with as they’ve negotiated and problem-solved their way through issues at committees across the University. But, debate raises important questions
within our communities; whether it be the wider national agenda or the agenda of a course rep consultation. It came up again at out yearly School Rep training that ran this year with great success (see P 10&11). We worked with a dozen students and our new education officer Ed White over two days to deliver a training that involved peer interaction, knowledge building and all-important debate (of course)! We also have to take our hat off to our out-going Education Officer, Niall Hamilton for all the fun he’s brought us and changes he’s made during his two years at RUSU. Find out more about his achievements on P5.
