VP Welfare & Community's February Update

Hello everyone! Welcome to the February SUSU newsletter. My name is Lottie (she/they) and here's what’s going on at SUSU this month.

Academic Awards

The Academic Awards are open for nominations. You can nominate an academic staff member or academic representative for one of three categories each.  Click here for more information about the Academic Awards.

Leadership Elections – your next Sabbatical Officers

The Leadership Elections are officially open for nominations where you’ll be able to run or suggest a friend who will lead on student representation in five different areas over the 2025/’26 academic year. Whether it’s President, VP Communities, VP Education, VP Inclusion or VP Sport, nominate yourself now, or suggest a friend.  Click here for more information about the Leadership Elections.

LGBTQ+ History Month

This month marks LGBTQ+ History Month. The SUSU Activities team in partnership with the LGBTQ+ Society and other societies have created an events planner filled with fundraisers, craft events, and more.  Click here to find out more about LGBTQ+ History Month.

SUSU+

You may have noticed that during Refreshers we launched the SUSU+ loyalty app allowing you to earn points when you spend money at any of our SUSU outlets (including The Shop, The Locker, The Stags, The Bridge, The Plant Pot and The Redbrick Kitchen).  Click here to learn more about the SUSU+ app.

Varsity

Varsity tickets are now live! Support your sports clubs on our turf as we compete for the Varsity trophy against Portsmouth.  Click here to buy tickets.
