that experience. We can then keep you engaged and help you get the most out of your time at Staffs.
The past year has seen your Union take a real focus on five key areas: • • •
• •
Developing equality and unity across the campuses Members valuing what the Students’ Union can do for them Students being able to change their University experience effectively and promptly Students feeling proud of their Students’ Union and University Students having the opportunity to enrich their student experience.
Enjoy the following read; hopefully you’ll be proud of what we’ve achieved together and learn a little more about what the Union does. Everything we do is for Students, by Students. So remember, whether you’re impressed or whether think you could do better, there is always an opportunity to get involved and to change what we do and how we work. This time next year, it could be you writing this introduction.
