Next year’s Future’s Fest: preferably after exam period in January or in September alongside Freshers’ First years unaware of content Not enough for first years and Career-based programme is off-putting Housing fair: great
The forum also covered library feedback which was mainly positive. And University feedback focused upon the lack of practical assessments with industry professionals to enhance the learning experience. The NSS/SSS was covered and the course reps agreed to help promote the completion of the surveys amongst their fellow students.
Water Fountains Update In regards to the previous FBL Officer working on the integration of water fountains on every floor of every building over both campuses, I have taken on this campaign in conjunction with the Ethics and Environment Officer.
Pavilion Library Drop Box Marketing Marketing posters are now on display on all floors of the pavilion. I wish to place my thanks to the Students’ Union marketing team for the creation and design of the posters, and to the Schools Rep for ETH&L with pushing forward to market the new service.
Education team Feedback Initiative After having an officer away day, the faculty officer and VP Education set a joint goal for working together on introducing new standards for feedback. Currently, objectives have been set to aid this goal with feedback currently being received from Heads of Schools in Carnegie as to how feedback is given in their area. An update on progress will be available in the next Student Council report.
Completed Tasks for the Year To reiterate so far on the progress I have made since taking office in September, I have achieved the following:
Implementation of the Pavilion Library Drop Box including marketing on site
Liaising with the university to ensure the Swimming Pool is on the agenda for renovation
Research from students and Heads of Schools in regards to how feedback of assessments is given, to form a larger report that is currently being worked on by the Education Team
Working with course reps and students who have had timetable issues to resolve these to ensure their education does not suffer
Full audit of the location and working condition of water fountains at Headingley, with a full campaign in conjunction with the Ethics & Environment Officer to be taken over from the departed FBL Officer
Promotion of the Course Rep System of which has led to Carnegie now engaging in over 200 reps
The council are welcome to contact the Faculty Officer at any time with any questions either regarding this report, or areas that concern with Carnegie.
