I hope you have had a great start to your term! Thank you to all of our committee members for your obvious passion and drive that you put into running your societies, we hope you are all having fun and making a ton of new friends. It was great to see Criminology and CRAGS at so many of our Student Leader Conference events! We all had a really useful discussion on CSU’s future strategy.  

 

Looking back at the feedback you provided, our Student Opportunities team are working hard to ensure your concerns and ideas are heard, and we will update you soon with any changes we have made to improve your overall society experience. As always, if you would like some support or have any questions, pop into CSU or drop me an email!
