A collaboration between the Library, LUSU and the Accessibility Community has opened a repurposed space to help individuals with sensory needs. 

Students are invited to nominate themselves for positions within College JCRs and PG Board, as well as positions of Student Trustee and International Students’ Officer. In this article, we want to explain the nomination process: how to do it, what to consider, and what happens next. 

We know that nominating yourself in an election may be something you have never done before or come across again in your life after university. Hopefully, this will be a great first experience! 

Being Trans+ at University comes with an array of struggles, one of them being feeling affirmed in your gender identity. This can come at a high cost to students; getting clothing, compression wear, affirming wear, make-up, travel costs to appointments, etc.

Our LUSU Education Officer, Niamh, and the University’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education are working together to look at AI concerns over the software.

We are excited to announce upcoming election for your College JCRs, PG Board, the International Students’ Officer, and two Student Trustee positions.  

Your Education Officer, Niamh McAuley, has recently been appointed as a member of the Quality Assurance Agency’s (QAA) Student Strategic Advisory Committee (SSAC).  

Stagecoach recently announced the price of an Annual UniRider for the 26/27 academic year. Since last year it’s gone up by well over 40%! 

From September, students taking the short 10 minute bus journey to campus from their student house will have to pay £555 for the privilege. Not only that, but the new Annual UniRider only covers 9 months of the year (the same as the old Terms 1+2+3 Pass). That means an inexplicable increase of 42.6%! 

The results from the National Student Survey are in and once again LUSU has recorded a great result for student satisfaction.
