With the Uni a little quieter it was time to knuckle down to some paperwork. From the portfolio i was putting together on campus development, to working with John and Beyram on the Student Experience survey it had piled up just a little!
Alongside this I began the push for the executive elections coming up in the middle of May. We decided to go with the idea of “Could you represent them (your fellow students)” with promotion showing students at Swansea doing what students do!
Alongside this the sabbs and I met with Rhys from NUS to discuss how we could leave the Union in good shape for our successors. We wanted to look at a Union wide review that ensured that students were getting maximum potential from the Union and staff were confident in what the Union was trying to achieve. From here we will be looking towards informal meetings, surveys and an away day!
Friday was by far the most exciting day of my week, I was invited to sit on a “stakeholders panel” for interviewing candidates for the director of Nus Wales role. When i arrived at Cardiff SU that morning it appeared that it was just me and a panel of GM’s and Managers, somewhat interesting and daunting!
It was a really positive morning with an excellent opportunity to see where each candidate wished to take NUS Wales forward. With NUS Wales recent successes in its involvement in the WAG HE funding review and the positive outcome in the bursary review, NUS Wales is at a crucial time in its life and it is vital that it had a good director to support the officers at this stage.
