President’s Welcome Hello and welcome to the University of London Union, the federal union for all Colleges in the University of London, representing over 120,000 students. I’m Michael Chessum, the President of ULU, and along with the ULU Vice President and the ULU Women’s Officer it is my full-time job to fight your corner, support you during your studies and campaign democratically for a better world. There are a huge number of ways that you can use ULU’s services during your time here. In addition to your own College student union, we provide a large variety of clubs and societies catering for everything from choral music to canoe polo. We also have one of London’s very few affordable swimming pools, a great gym and an excellent music venue. And if you’re hungry, make sure to check out the first floor bars – some of the best value food in central London. As a union, we exist primarily to represent and campaign for students. We are stronger when we act together, and ULU has played a crucial role in campaigning for decent affordable housing, for rights at work, and against the government’s attacks on education and the welfare state. For the first time, ULU now has a full-time Women’s Officer and four autonomous campaigns open to women, LGBT+, disabled and black students – dedicated to campaigning against oppression.
Working alongside other student unions in London, we have also set up the London Union of Students (LUS) – an organisation that aims to represent all of the students in London. Together, we will co-ordinate action and represent students to local government. As you may be aware, the University of London recently announced its intention to close ULU from August 2014. We regard this as a disgraceful attack on democratic autonomy and on student services. If you want us to continue to fight for you, you may have to fight for our survival – so watch out for a major campaign. London is the biggest student city in the world, and will provide you with a unique set of experiences – academic, political and extra-curricular. We exist to help you make the most of your time and to fight on the issues that you feel strongly about. So don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Sports & Societies 2013/14 will be a very exciting time for sports and societies at ULU. The emphasis remains very much on supporting and building existing societies, while also encouraging students to introduce new and innovative activities. The ULU Student Activities Team have taken a great deal of time to speak with students and staff at the various colleges and after taking on board what was said, we have introduced some new activities and increased the number of taster and development days, plus we have expanded the number of spaces on training courses and increased the number of other requested activities. There are more than 40 different sports and societies including archery, fencing, scuba diving, swimming, rowing, big band jazz, ballroom dancing, hip hop, art, faith groups
and many more. ULU aims to provide students with the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and to meet like-minded people in their chosen activity. Students have progressed from novice to world champion in elite sports such as rowing, while others learn completely new activities such as canoe polo or ice hockey. Other activities such as ULU LINKS, the student branch of St John Ambulance, trains volunteers to provide first aid cover at major sporting and entertainment events throughout London. There are opportunities to debate with our award-winning Debating Society, make potions with the Harry Potter Society, learn to scuba dive or play in one of the leading student orchestras in the UK.

Volunteering For those students that want to give something back during their time at university, the volunteer’s service provides direct links to charities operating in London and signposts opportunities from bucket shaking to administrative and marketing work.

Campaigns & Activism
London Student ULU’s primary purpose is to defend and extend the rights of its members, and to campaign on issues that you democratically vote for – either in elections or through democratic council meetings such as the ULU Senate. So it’s up to you what we campaign on, but here is some of what we have in store. For more info on any of our campaigns, email Liam McNulty at campaigns@ulu.lon.ac.uk
#Save ULU In May 2013, the University of London announced its intention to close ULU from August 2014 and replace it with a management run student services centre. We regard this as a disgraceful attack on democratic autonomy and on student services, and we will fight tooth and nail to ensure that the ULU building and the services it provides remain under democratic student-led control, either as ULU or as the headquarters of a new London-wide students’ union.
Defending Education and the Welfare State We believe that university education should be a free and accessible public service, run democratically for the benefit of society by students and staff, and funded by taxing the wealthy and big business. ULU has played an iconic role in recent years as a flashpoint of mobilisation and coordination against the government’s plans to privatise education and the welfare state – so watch out for the odd demo, and get involved in anti-cuts activism on your own campus!

Cosas 3 Cosas – ‘three things’ in Spanish – is a vibrant campaign to win sick pay, holiday pay and pensions for the University of London’s outsourced cleaners, who at the moment suffer from bad working conditions. The campaign is led primarily by cleaners, and it has so embarrassed University senior managers that they have tried to ban protest on campus!
ULU Housing Campaign Housing is one of the biggest campaigns for the years ahead. Halls are being privatised, and rent in London has sky-rocketed in recent years. We often live in bad conditions miles from campus, getting screwed over by landlords and agents. ULU has already produced a ‘know your rights’ guide, and we’ll be organising in halls, linking up with other campaign groups and establishing a London Student Tenants Union. We’ll need your involvement, so watch out!
Rights at Work A significant proportion of the student population of London work, largely because of how high the cost of living is here. Students who work are often un-unionised and exploited by employers, and we going to be fighting to ensure that you are able to organise at work.

Hollaback! ULU Hollaback! ULU calls for London Universities and students’ unions to work together to combat sexual harassment on campus, implement a zero tolerance culture, encouraging victims to ‘hollaback’ using clear and accessible reporting systems – to say no to victim blaming and yes to support services. It also involves improving methods of reporting sexual harassment and giving the tools to students and staff on campuses to give better support to victims and tackle campus specific issues head on.

ULU Liberation Network
Susuana Antubam, Womens Officer womens@ulu.lon.ac.uk
The ULU Liberation Network is made up of the four ULU autonomous liberation campaigns: Women, Disabled, Black* and LGBT+. Each liberation campaign has its own network and elected officer whose job is to facilitate intersectional liberation campaigns and events for students across London campuses. Working with liberation officers and activist in London Students’ Unions, the liberation officers at ULU hope to build a strong support network and use the University of London Union as a centre point for student liberation activism. The ULU Liberation Network aims to provide safe spaces for self-identified members of liberation groups to come together, discuss and campaign around issues which are important to them. The ULU Liberation Network will also enable student unions to combine energy and resources into campaigns that affect students nationally as well as regionally. As well as the full-time Womens Officer, this year’s ULU Liberation Officers are:

London Student
LONDONSTUDENT
Europe’s largest student newspaper
Hello and welcome to university! My name is Oscar Webb and I’m the editor of London Student, which is Europe’s largest student newspaper; we’re also one of the oldest – we started printing in 1954 under the name of Sennet. We have a long and distinguished history as a liberal and campaigning newspaper. Back in the 1950s, the newspaper was, amongst other things, condemning apartheid in South Africa, reporting on student protests against the British Suez intervention and criticising the LSE for inviting Oswald Mosley to speak. Up to the present day, London Student has been the outlet for the often radical voice of students in London. I plan to continue the tradition. This year, the government may choose to privatise student loans, potentially locking students into a lifetime of debt; cuts to universities threaten entire departments with closure; rent and living costs will continue to rise and farright groups like the EDL mobilise across London whilst students and others
stand-up to oppose them – these are just a few of the things London Student intends to write about and critique this year. London Student also publishes a twenty page arts and culture supplement called The Smoke, which provides students with an in-depth guide to the capital’s musical, theatrical, artistic and culinary goings on. We go to print every two weeks and can be found in the foyers, bars and cafes of most students’ unions. We can also be found online at london-student. net. London Student is a student run newspaper – we rely on student writers, photographers, graphic designers, artists and video-makers – so if you’d like to get involved, please email me at editor@london-student.net.
