SU Presidents week 7 round-up

This week, we hosted the last Conference of Common Rooms of Hilary term. It was great to bring student leaders together across colleges. We attended the Student Racial and Religious Inclusion Forum; the SU’s Black and Ethnic Minorities Students’ Officer, Luke Liang, was a key speaker. Alisa attended the Permanent Private Halls Supervisory Committee, and Seun worked on the SU’s Access and Participation Plan submission and attended the AI working group. She also attended the Astrophoria foundation year management committee (the Astrophoria foundation year is a one-year programme for UK state school students with significant academic potential. 

We also did some filming for the Community Fund roll-out for Trinity term, and some University Mental health day content. We attended the Student Life Subcommittee, which focused on non-academic aspects of student life and experience, including student representation.
