Welcome back to our second Rep Successes for this Academic year!
Across December, your reps were working hard to ensure that positive changes were made, student voices were listened to and that staff were aware when things were going well! Lots of great things have been achieved and this blog will give you an insight into what kinds of things our reps get done! It is so important it is to give feedback to your reps – your voice really is integral to making your university experience better!
If you have any feedback you’d like to give, feel free to contact your school or course reps. You can find out who they are here! (If the link does not work for you, please email coursereps@le.ac.uk)
Key Success Spotlight:
Building on all their hard work across November, our reps have been making great improvements all over the University! From making lectures more engaging in Criminology, to getting students access to the correct Blackboard pages in Natural Sciences your reps have been working closely with staff and students to implement positive change!
Just to spotlight a few successes in December:
HyPIR reps, in the College of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, worked with staff to revive the departmental Instagram account, which is now being run by one of the School Reps.
Meanwhile, over in the College of Life Sciences, Psychology reps managed to get the library printers fixed!
Finally, in the College of Science and Engineering, reps from Physics flagged a deadline on Blackboard as being incorrect and this has now been fixed, and staff have also set up a General Info Blackboard site after reps requested this given student interest.
Other Success Highlights!
You can find out more specifically about what successes have happened in your school– your School Reps should be in touch to share good things that have happened in a College-Specific update!
