Achievements...achievements

We are often told that we do not talk about our achievements, and that we are quick to note where we fail to do well, so I thought it is time not to be modest anymore and to think back over the past year with a pride of what we have achieved!

Here's a quick snapshot of some of the SU's achievements so far:
  • Exams dates remained unchanged - you can still enjoy Xmas!
  • We have fiven 170k back to students through our Advice Centre
  • Over 4600 students sought and received advice from us this year
  • 24h Library - opening times were extended around exam times yeeeiii :)
  • Sexual Health Campaigns (250 screened + 200 participants)
  • Quorate AGM and Constitution modernised - implementation phase
  • 1st Students’ Union Public lecture: Minister of Education - Bill Rammell - was our guest
  • Diversity lectire: Bhupinder Anand Lecture on how to be successful
  • SU Reunion - past officers from 1968 - 2008 finally met!
  • Oxford Spring Clean - more than 60 students worked on the local areas
  • Volunteering in sectors ranging from local hospitals, to community projects on national level
  • We won Bronze Sound Impact Award
  • Ran self-defence classes for students to enhance student safety at Brookes
  • 2nd stage of SUEi, our work on diversity is referred to as model of good practice’
  • As promised organised a End of Year BALL, which was overwhelmingly positive
  • After 12 months, we now have a Mission and Vision, that we, our students and I hope the University knows and understands

All of the above was only possible thanks to the committment of SU officers, staff and the students at Brookes. Of course there is so much more that we should do, and we will do. Patience my friends, we are getting there!
