Students鈥� Union at 裸聊直播 (SU裸聊直播) are celebrating after winning two awards from three submissions at the annual ceremony in Liverpool.
SU裸聊直播 won the Education Award as well as being awarded the Gold in the Green Impact category, with sabbatical officers and SU裸聊直播 staff members there to collect the prizes on the night.
The Education Award was won (beating Northumbria and Edinburgh respectively) for the enhancements made to the SU裸聊直播/裸聊直播 student representative system, including the development of the new online feedback tool, , which is now being used by other unions in the UK. SimOn gives students a quick and easy way to provide feedback and become active partners in their education.
The Students鈥� Union have also been working to give more responsibility to class representatives, appointed by SU裸聊直播 for each class to give students a voice within the University and ensure that students on all courses have their say.
Ellie, SU VP Education (2014-2016) collected the Education Award, saying 鈥淲e鈥檝e put a huge amount of work into our rep system over the past year, changing reps from being survey pushers to engaging in face-to-face conversations with our students. It鈥檚 amazing to have our hard work recognised on a national scale and to know that we have the best rep system in the UK鈥�.
The SU裸聊直播 team were also awarded Gold in the Green Impact category for high environmental standards. Green Impact is NUS鈥檚 environmental accreditation programme with over 100 Students鈥� Unions now taking part across the UK. Jonathan Leung, SU VP Activities (2014-15), explained "We鈥檝e put a huge effort into achieving this award since moving into the new Student Centre. The volunteering and green department has worked on being both sustainable and environmental and implementing changes that have helped the environment. We're aiming to achieve Green Impact Excellence over the next year and are encouraging any interested students to visit SU裸聊直播 in the Student Centre to chat about their ideas.鈥�
SU裸聊直播 were also nominated in the Students鈥� Union of the Year category, which was won by Liverpool Guild of Students.
Alan James, General Manager for SU裸聊直播, summarised the team's success, saying 鈥淲e鈥檙e very proud of the achievements of our elected student reps and officers and to have been one of only five Students鈥� Union鈥檚 nominated for Students鈥� Union of the year, being just 鈥榩ipped to the post鈥� this year by Liverpool Guild of Students. The NUS Awards have completed an exciting and productive year for SU裸聊直播, our first full year in the new Student Centre building at 裸聊直播鈥�.
