We promise we will grow together as an Aber family
We want to offer the chance to try something new, enjoy hobbies, socialize and make lasting and meaningful friendships and be part of something bigger.
How:
- Affinity with the SU. Students will connect engaging volunteering, clubs and societies membership or leadership, and Academic Rep experiences with the Students’ Union.
- Champion and support student groups to create events, activities, media and campaigns, increasing numbers of opportunities to contribute, lead and learn.
- We will help students find, grow and celebrate their diverse communities
- Students will play a positive role in the wider Aberystwyth Community
Why?
- In the 2016 NSS 67% of students said they were satisfied with the services on offer from AberSU but 91% were satisfied with Clubs and Societies on offer. This demonstrates a disconnect between activity and provision/support
- Despite 61% of students who were surveyed being part of an AberSU club or society only 9% described themselves as very engaged with the Students’ Union.
- 86% of students felt it was important for the Students’ Union to offer sports clubs and societies, but only 54% were happy with the range currently on offer.
Success looks like:
- By 2020: 60% of students will be a member of at least one student group
