Finalists – we want to hear from you. Yes, you’re probably sick of hearing about it and, yes, you’ve most likely got your dissertation due soon but if you take 5-10mins of your time now it can save you a whole lot of time over the next few weeks! You’ve probably guessed it, but it’s […]
I think its fair to say that Performing Arts within the University of Southampton have been knocking about for a long time. However they have not always operated in the impressive way they do at present. Before I started in my role they were known as the PAU (Performing Arts Union) and were supported by SUSU through the Societies […]
Every year, Universities around the country take part in a survey called ‘I-barometer’, which gives us a chance to find out what ALL international students think about their University experience. SUSU loves every chance it gets to hear what students think and how they’re enjoying their time. Each year we make sure that we shout […]
For years, students have highlighted that feedback on assessment as the major issue they have with the quality of their University experience, and has always been a major focus for Sabbatical Officers past and present.

Last Wednesday, your elections committee finalised the timetable for all SUSU Elections for the year ahead. SUSU is run by students at all levels, and so it’s vital that we deliver when it comes to elections. Feedback in this process begun from the day the Sabbatical elections ended in March, and through our Sabbatical blog and […]
So it’s my turn to tell you about my goals for the coming year. Using a mixture of our manifestos, extra things we have learnt since writing them, the union plan and continuing work from our predecessors, each of the sabbs has decided on three goals that we will spend the majority of our time […]
Aloha! Today is my turn to outline what I’m hoping to achieve over my final 11 months as a Sabbatical Officer. In the past 12 months, lots of work has gone into preparing for 2012 (with it’s £9k fees and all), with a lot of projects now established to review and make improvements in a […]
In yesterday’s blog I outlined the four goals I presented to council last October, how I got on with them and what’s next for those areas. As a team, the Sabbs and I have been working on shaping our goals for next year in order to bring for council’s approval this October. We have each […]
