This is the culmination of many hours of work over a number of years and represents a really significant achievement. Well done to everyone who contributed to this success.
We are currently planning an Awards ceremony which will take place in Nov/Dec for the latest awards winners to formally be presented with their awards. Further details to follow.
The award winners commented on the impact that SUEI had made to their Unions:
‘SUEI has reminded us all of the continued need to meet the needs of our students and actively engage with them in a relevant way.’
Edd Graham Hyde, President, UCLAN Students’ Union
‘We are thrilled to have been recognised as a good quality Union which operates in the best interests of students, and the audit report has also provided us with some positive action to take in the future.’
Osama Salih, Student Union President 2011/12, The University of Surrey Students’ union
‘It was and continues to be a real driver for cultural and physical change and ensures that we are continually improving to meet students’ needs.’
Goldsmiths Students’ Union
‘As a small Union, with a very small permanent staff compliment, SUEI was extremely challenging. However we used this challenge to rethink how we approach everything we do, and to use it as a catalyst for real effective organisational change to make SOAS Union more relevant and more approachable to our diverse student body.’ SOAS
‘SUEI provided UBU with an effective framework for our journey of transformation that began with our incorporation in 2009. Major change programmes are always challenging and SUEI made a significant contribution to easing this process.’
University of Bristol Union
Unquestionably SUEI has sharpened our thinking about so much of what we do and how we do it and made us a stronger and more responsive organisation for our members and we are measurably having more impact than ever on their lives, the University and our communities because of SUEI.”
