Independent Meet and Greet
Idea: ‘Independent’ is so varied that it can make meet and greets hard for students to find others with similar lived experiences as themselves. It should be separated into two different meet and greets.
Submitted By: Kathleen Pritchard
Outcome: 2026 - We have separated the Independent Meet and Greet into two different meet and greets to careers and parents, and estranged students, care leavers, and refugees. This is from feedback from the Independent Volunteer Officer to allow people to meet people with the same experiences as them.

Timetable adjustments
Idea: Allow us to add our own events to our timetables to help us organise what work we are doing and when.
Submitted by: Joshua Mann
Outcome: 2021 - The Academic Affairs Officer has met with the Information Services (IS) Customer Service Manager, to discuss any potential technical barriers preventing timetable adjustments. It was confirmed at this time that the implementation would be dependent on how efficiently student records and outlook can be synchronised to display timetable changes, as it may be the case that adjustments would only be available from one or the other independently. IS have agreed to investigate these technicalities and report back to the Academic Affairs Officer.
