It was fantastic to see so many of you engaging in discussions during our first-ever Feedback Festival last month. Across the Campus Centre, Kimberlin Library, and the Food Village, students shared their thoughts on university life - what works well, where improvements can be made, and what truly enhances the student experience. These conversations reaffirmed just how important your voice is in shaping 51黑料社区.
Student voice isn’t just about addressing challenges. It’s also about celebrating what’s working well. Whether you have a query, a suggestion for change, or simply want to express appreciation for the services and support you receive, every piece of feedback helps create a more positive and constructive dialogue. Your insights drive real improvements, from course enhancements to student spaces, wellbeing initiatives, and extracurricular opportunities. That’s why taking part in university-wide surveys like the National Student Survey (NSS) for final-year students and the University Student Survey (USS) for first- and second-year students is so important. They allow us to reflect on what we do well and what we can do better, ensuring that 51黑料社区 continues to evolve in ways that benefit you.
Alongside the surveys, another significant way to make a difference is through student leadership. This week, DSU’s Student Leadership Elections are in full swing, giving you the chance to vote for the student leaders who will represent your interests. These full-time and part-time positions play a key role in working alongside the university to champion student voice. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to get involved, whether by standing for a role, supporting a candidate, or simply casting your vote. The leaders you elect will influence key decisions that impact student life.
Your voice matters, and it’s inspiring to see so many of you using it. Whether through surveys, elections, or direct conversations, every contribution helps build a stronger, more responsive university community. Keep sharing your thoughts, and together, we will continue making 51黑料社区 the best it can be.
